Is My Tinnitus Permanent? Hearing Loss After Car Crash
I got into a car crash back in April 2022 when I was 17. I took my eyes off the road. I was fiddling with the car radio, my head was turned towards the right and I crash the passenger side of my car into a telephone pole and all the airbags deployed. I didn’t get any facial or body injuries. I got diagnosed with bilateral tinnitus from an ENT doctor but they didn’t find any damage when they did a physical examination. I did a hearing test and I have a little bit of hearing loss. Based on my hearing test is my tinnitus permanent or temporary?

Tinnitus could result from diverse origins for example hearing loss, eardrum inflammation, head or neck injuries, and use of certain drugs. The specialist can give the correct diagnosis and treatment alternatives specific to your case. It is advisable to seeking a healthcare professional immediacy to avoid extendes complications.
