What is medically wrong with my husband ?

My husband had ringing in his ear and hearing loss . The doctor said he has an inner and outer ear infection . Several doses of antibiotics pill form and injections and his health is declining .He has head pressure dizziness pain in his shoulders and neck .He is very fatigued  all the time . The heat really bothers him now and makes his head pressure worse . His eye sight is declining and loud noises cause his head to hurt. The doctor said his problems may be dental related but the dentist said he doesn't see anything to support that theory . Any thoughts on what to check for would be appreciated.

Has he gone to an Ear Nose and Throat doctor? I ask because there could be different things going on contributing to this. Ear infections or viruses can cause this heavy ear as I call it (when it feels full and sound is muffled) and ringing. Is he dizzy as well? The infection or virus itself can cause it. But if you have an ear infection, it also can cause a bit of damage after the fact as well. Another common issue is Eustachian Tube dysfunction. This tube can crush in on itself and cause ringing and fullness/hearing disruption. An ENT can work on that with you. Reverse ear pops is on way to combat it, often otc antihistamines are recommended and a short course of pseudophedrine. I'm assuming that they got in there and cleaned his ear as well to make sure simple wax wasn't contributing to it (it can). But I'd consult with an ENT for next steps.

I'd want to know if there is any actual infection in the ear. If a swab and culture shows negative, then everything is likely inflammatory.
