What is the reason for hearing continuous sounds in ears?

Question

Hi doctor,

My mother is facing a problem for almost two months now. She was complaining about continuous hearing of sound in both ears. She is 67 years old and had done the complete audiogram checkup, which was completely fine. The doctors have told her to meet them after three months. She feels uncomfortable with the continuous sound and wants to consult if she requires a brain MRI to know if there is no injury. The medicine prescribed to her was Otocap (a supplement of multimineral, multivitamin and antioxidants), and she is not finding any recovery from that. She is currently taking Telmisartan for blood pressure.

Kindly suggest.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Considering the age and the comorbid condition of blood pressure I suspect hearing loss in high frequencies. Please share the audiogram report with me.

For the time being increase the intake of carrots, tomatoes which has lycopene in it. Neurobion forte is a multivitamin supplement, which can be taken once per day after food. Avoid noisy situations. Tinnitus relief application should be used on speaker mode which has so many multi frequency sound collections. Lastly get MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of brain done so as to avoid anything else.

Hope I have clarified your query.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Without any further delay, let her use binaural digital programmable hearing aids, which will be programmed according to her audiogram. RIC (receiver In canal) style of hearing aid should be used in this pattern of hearing loss. When the amplified sound is adequate automatically, she will not perceive the internal sound anymore as the amplified sound will give her clarity and mask the inner sound. Follow the other instructions, as I have mentioned earlier.
