Question
What should I do if my ears always ring and I have hearing loss?
Answer
The patient experienced a sudden onset of hearing loss two years ago, accompanied by tinnitus. After initial treatment, there was some recovery in hearing, but the tinnitus persisted. It is recommended that the patient rest and seek treatment with traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture or herbal medicine from an otorhinolaryngologist to improve the symptoms. Given the long history of the condition, a complete recovery is unlikely, but there is still hope for improvement. It is reminded that the patient should avoid prolonged use of headphones or MP3 devices and maintain a relaxed mood.
