Tinnitus tinnitus
I developed tinnitus 8 years ago due to a prolonged infection which I got after being bitten by a dog on my leg, and infection lasted for 1 year, i was bedridden during this period, my left neck lymph node was swollen during this period and i developed tinnitus 70% in left ear and 30% in right ear. No hearing loss detected in audiometry test. Did that infection do some permanent damage to my ear or brain? Do I hear more tinnitus in my left ear because my left lymph node was swollen for a longer period of time? Why there's no cure.

Most of the time tinnitus is due to abnormal hearing of sound of the body only for which there is no specific medication. U can ask your Audiologists about Tinnitus Retaining Therapy, Tinnitus pitch matching, Laser therapy and Tinnitus Masking, some therapies which can be of help.
