The ENT, Naturopath and Acupuncturist all believe it is related to the Dys: Treatment in August, at Ophthalmologist in September after being unable to see - dry eye and blurry vision.

Now it shows hearing loss and tinnitus. 1. Dry eye/blurred vision 2. Bladder control problems 3. Hearing loss and tinnitus 4. Water loss

I have never heard of those varied symptoms related to Dysport, or Botox. It would be best to consult with your primary care to find a possible cause to these symptoms.Best of luck,Dr. G

With all due respect to your ENT, your Naturopath, and your Acupuncturist, they don't know what they are talking about.  I recommend you see a traditional Western medicine internist for their opinion and make sure that you don't have some other reason for all of these issues.

This is unlikely to be due to your Dysport injections. Dysport results resolve in 3-4 months. If it persists, I recommend following up with your Doctor and Ophthalmologist. Best, Dr. Emer

I'm having considerable difficulty relating your medical problems to a Dysport injection for crowsfeet.  I would recommend you see a neurologist and make sure your not overlooking a more serious health problem.  I've been injecting Dysport, Botox and Xeomin for a long time and I have never had anything remotely like this occurring to a patient.
