The whistling sound you hear is likely tinnitus. It is highly reassuring that your hearing is normal. Currently, there is no single medication approved to cure tinnitus itself. However, if the sound causes anxiety or disrupts your sleep, a doctor may temporarily prescribe low-dose medications like alprazolam or amitriptyline to help manage the distress. Sometimes, supplements like Ginkgo biloba are suggested, though their effectiveness varies. I highly recommend consulting an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist. They can safely evaluate you and discuss highly effective, non-drug management strategies like sound therapy, which are often the best approach.

Hearing loss, especially when worse in one ear, requires a professional evaluation before starting any treatment. If the cause is simple earwax buildup, generic softening drops like carbamide peroxide or plain olive oil can help dissolve it safely. However, because the hearing loss is asymmetrical, it is important to consult a doctor or an ENT specialist. They can examine your ears for wax, fluid, or infection, and perform a hearing test to find the exact cause. Please avoid putting objects like cotton swabs in your ears or using medicated drops without a diagnosis. A quick, routine checkup is the best and safest step to restore your hearing.

Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound is blocked in the outer or middle ear. Fortunately, this condition is often temporary and highly treatable depending on the underlying cause: Earwax buildup: Treated with wax-softening drops or safe removal by a doctor. Infections or fluid: Managed with antibiotics, decongestants, or small ear tubes to drain fluid. Structural issues (like eardrum or middle ear bone stiffness): Can be corrected with routine, highly successful surgeries or managed effectively with hearing aids. I highly recommend seeing an ENT specialist. They can easily identify the specific cause and guide you toward the right, straightforward treatment to improve your hearing.
