Symptom narrative

Noticed ringing in my ears, thought it was tinnitus, and finally got to a point where I could not hear out of my right ear. Went to ENT for the exam. They sent me for an MRI. They told me that a virus had destroyed part of my auditory nerve, and my hearing was greatly reduced in my right ear. They tried antibiotics directly into the ear but with no positive effect. I have gone for check-ups, and my ear has not gotten any better, I still have tinnitus-like symptoms and hearing loss in my right ear. Sometimes, the rings seem to be in both ears. Gets very loud in louder environments to the point of annoyance. Told no known treatment, just keep returning to make sure I am not loosing hearing in my left ear.
