I'm really concerned about my hearing. Over the past four months, I've been experiencing sensorineural hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, and tinnitus. The sounds I'm dealing with are around 60 to 70 dB. Could you help me understand what's going on and what options I might have?

Chronic cold symptoms may indicate chronic sinusitis.

Cetirizine helps alleviate symptoms, but a permanent cure depends on the underlying cause.

Possible treatments for chronic sinusitis:

Antibiotics (if bacterial infection)

Nasal corticosteroids

Saline nasal irrigation

Surgery (in severe cases)

Consult an ENT specialist for:

Proper diagnosis

Personalized treatment plan

Discussion of potential allergen avoidance or immunotherapy

Note: Cetirizine is an antihistamine, not a cure for sinusitis.

I've been dealing with this weird pressure in my right ear for the past couple of years. It's especially noticeable whenever I talkit just feels uncomfortable. I've seen a bunch of ENT specialists, and I've heard everything from "it's a tonsil problem" to "there's no issue at all." It's super frustrating not having any answers. Could there be something else going on with my ear that hasn't been checked?
