Tinnitus in the right ear of a 50-year-old woman may be related to acoustic neuroma, cerumen impaction of the external auditory canal, neurogenic tinnitus, etc., and needs to be treated with medication or surgery for specific diseases. 1. Auditory neuroma: mostly due to genetic reasons, causing central nerve sheath tumor, mostly unilateral tinnitus and deafness, tinnitus lasts for a short time. It is usually treated by surgery, including microsurgery total excision, stereotactic radiation therapy, and follow-up observation. 2. Cerumen impaction of the external auditory canal: it is usually caused by excessive secretion of cerumen glands in the ear canal or obstruction of cerumen discharge, and finally it can cause tinnitus when the cerumen presses on the tympanic membrane. Usually, the symptoms can be relieved after removing the cerumen from the ear canal in a regular hospital. 3. Neurogenic tinnitus: It may be related to neuropathy and autoimmune factors caused by bacterial and viral infections, resulting in a decline in the function of the cells of the inner ear, and tinnitus is caused by abnormal discharges. Flunarizine and nimodipine are usually chosen to improve microcirculation in the inner ear and eliminate or reduce tinnitus symptoms. When tinnitus occurs, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, follow the doctor’s instructions for further examination, clarify the cause with the help of the doctor, and carry out targeted medication and treatment.
