Enquiry about tinnitus and hearing loss
Hi team
I was on propranolol 40mg ( Inderal LA)last year ( from Dec 2022-April 2023) for anxiety after my sister's death
Suddenly developed ear clogging and ringing on the right ear only in March 2023
Also developed hearing loss
Stopped it completely in April last year
Ear ringing continues today as well in the right ear but it's not loud as it was last year and it's reducing slowly
Doc's ENT specialist said nothing can be done
I've low vitamin D levels and no ear issues since birth
History of taking calls for 1yr now off calls
Pls advise whether the hearing is improving and the tinnitus is temporary?
I didn't know that the medicine caused this
Attached this year and last year audiogram images

The hearing seems to be slightly better, but no significant change. Since the ringing in the ear is improving, you can wait a little longer. Vitamin D supplements can be taken. There is a drug called ginkobiloba which has shown good effect in a proportion of patients, but it has to be taken for months together for any noticeable improvement. The hearing loss pattern is that of nerve weakness, usually this does not improve. Also supplement with optineuron tablets.
Next Steps
Vitamin supplements. Can wait and watch
