I Think Botox Has Caused my Hearing Loss and Tinnitus - is This Common Side Effects?

snowflake33
I woke up one morning with dullness and tinnitus on my right ear that did not go away - this was 2 weeks after a Botox injection (20 units for crows feet). I had a CT scan, met with an ear specialist and a sinus specialist, saw an allergist but no one found any issues. After months of searching for answers, I made the correlation to my Botox injection. If this is caused by the Botox, will it go away or is something damaged? Also, will Botox go away faster if you move the muscles a lot? Thanks!
