Enquiry about tinnitus
Hi
I got anxiety attack in Dec 2022 then I was prescribed Inderal LA 40 mg by the GP. Alongside clonotril Tab
I stopped clonotril Tab after a week or so
Then continue with Inderal LA40 mg tablet and suddenly developed tinnitus on the right ear in March 2023
I stopped Inderal LA40 mg after tapering it to 20mg and complete stopped in April 2023
My tinnitus hasn't stopped yet and also got hearing loss as well on both ears SNHL
Although my tinnitus has become less intense than last year but still hasn't stopped
My new ENT specialist has advised a brain MRI to see what has happened
Constant noise in right ear since then
I've never had issues with ears before since childhood
Was inderal LA tablet responsible for the tinnitus and hearing loss and what can be done now for the tinnitus and hearing loss?
Pls advise

Hearing loss due to beta blockers is very much rare.but there are articles where there is profound sensorineural hearing loss which got reversed after stoppage of drugs.
You have to review your family history,occupation other medication which you got during any hospital admission.
You can go for BERA test and otoacoutic emissions test.
MRI is for any unilateral hearing loss.In a bilateral sensorineural hearing loss,most of the time there will be normal MRI brain scans.anyway MRI can be done to rule out any intracranial causes.
Next Steps
he can go for OAE and BERA tests.and then radiological tests to ruleout other causes.if there are any occupational causes,he has to change his profession to prevent further hearing loss.
