Question
One ear suddenly started buzzing, and there was a decrease in hearing when I covered it. This has been a long-lasting sound for two months now. What factors or diseases could be causing this?
Answer
This is a tinnitus phenomenon, accompanied by a temporary loss of hearing. It is usually not a major issue, but the diagnosis of tinnitus is extremely difficult because it can be a symptom of many systemic and regional diseases, and there are numerous triggers and influencing factors. It is also closely related to the patient’s psychological state. Pay attention to this situation and seek medical assistance in a timely manner.
