FIND THE CAUSE: You have to find the cause of anemia.You say exat soure not yet determined.Buzzing in the ear can be caused by many differet causes including problems in the ears and many other medical conditions.But i can not find anemia causing this buzzing, but there may not be a common thread but coincidence get investigated asap to find the cause of GI bleed as that is more serious than buzzing in the ears.

Hgb level now?: I'm not sure. Is your hemoglobin (HGB) level normal now? If possible i would try to track down the cause of the anemia.
