A member asked:
Was sick. took antibiotics. now, i have subtle ringing in left ear/sensitivity to sound/slight hearing loss/ after blowing nose too hard. what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Slight tinnitus : the subtle ringing can be due to the antibiotics. Watch it for a few days to see if it resolves. If it does not. Get a hearing test to check the hearing. Pop your ears regularly (20 or more times a day)to be sure the Eustachian tube is opening correctly. This could also cause a subtle ringing in the ears and can be the result of a recent bacterial infection. Good luck and feel better.
