Medicine differentiates between acute tinnitus, which is a first-time event, usually of sudden onset, and chronic tinnitus. Acute tinnitus, in particular when accompanied by acute hearing loss, needs to be attended by a doctor quickly to exclude any underlying and possibly serious condition. Treatment of acute tinnitus and hearing loss may vary from country to country- in Europe it is probably given more attention than in the US. If no specific cause for tinnitus and /or hearing loss can be identified, treatment often consists of general measures to improve blood circulation and tissue oxygen supply. Very often, this will make the tinnitus disappear.Today, we know many causes for acute tinnitus and listing them all would consume more space. Trust the knowledge, experience and advice of your doctor.
