What medication can cure cerebral tinnitus?
Disease description:
I suddenly lost hearing in both ears due to excessive internal heat (a traditional Chinese medicine concept referring to bodily imbalance). After examination at the hospital, the cause was determined to be insufficient blood supply to the brain, for which there is no specific or effective treatment. This has now led to persistent brain tinnitus lasting an entire year. I would just like to know what medications are available to treat brain tinnitus and achieve recovery?

Tinnitus is a common symptom, and the types of medications used to treat tinnitus include:
1. Microcirculation-improving drugs: such as Nimodipine and Nicergoline. These medications dilate cerebral blood vessels, increase oxygen content in brain cells, and thus improve tinnitus symptoms.
2. Neurotrophic drugs: such as Piracetam capsules and Cytidine diphosphate-choline capsules. These medications improve brain cell metabolism, promote recovery of brain function, and help alleviate tinnitus.
3. Anti-anxiety and antidepressant drugs: For tinnitus caused by psychological factors such as mental stress, anxiety, or depression, anti-anxiety and antidepressant medications can be used, such as Deanxit (Flupentixol/Melitracen), Paroxetine, and Escitalopram oxalate. These medications regulate nervous system function, reduce emotional stress, and thereby relieve tinnitus.
4. Traditional Chinese patent medicines: Based on the TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment system, some Chinese patent medicines can be selected for regulation, such as Liuwei Dihuang Pills and Tianma Shouwu Pills. These medications nourish blood and qi, and help clear the brain, thereby improving tinnitus symptoms.
Medication should be taken under the guidance of a qualified physician. If you experience any discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
