40F Right-ear tinnitus + hearing loss — ENT says due to blood flow issue. Is this accurate? - #10110
Hi, I’m 40F. For about 2 months I’ve had constant ringing in my right ear, blocked feeling, and mild hearing loss. Also experiencing occasional headaches. I once had facial palsy years ago, so I get anxious about ear/nerve issues. ENT did tympanometry + audiogram and said a blood vessel might not be supplying my inner ear properly. I’m attaching all reports/images. Before I panic, I really want to know: Does this diagnosis make sense based on the results? Is this typically reversible with treatment? Should I ask for any additional tests (like MRI/MRA or Doppler) or wait to see if it improves? Very worried and want to make sure we’re on the right track. Any quick guidance appreciated 🙏
