I might add when I do the valsalva, it either fixes it, or makes it harder to hear. and then a pop will happen and then it goes back to being muffled hearing.

Soo.. My ear is muffled, and the sound is very dampened, if I plug my good ear near my fan, I can hear the fan, but I can't hear the clattering it makes, but once I unplug my good ear, I can hear it. Thing is... if I push down on the bad ear, the sound resumes and I can hear everything that my...

When your whole body jerks, it's called a hypnic jerk :D lots of people get it, it's not understood fully why it happens, but its fairly normal.

Exploding head syndrome (EHS) is a benign condition in which a person hears loud imagined noises (such as a bomb exploding, a gunshot, or a cymbal crash) or experiences an explosive feeling when falling asleep or waking up. It's like a hypnic jerk

I will, this is honestly annoying more than anything.. in other news my T has went down considerably, which is a bit strange considering.. lol

No not sick, is it in both of your ears? mine is just one.

When sitting, the pressure or muffledness isn't so bad, but when I stand it seems to be exasperated.. BUT, if I am standing up, and plug the ear that has no issue the ear with pressure seems to be better a bit. I had wax cleaned after I pushed against my ear, causing a block, in which they...

I drove with the window open once, right next to my bad ear, wasn't thinking. Spike for a week and went back down gradually.

That actually might just be exploding head syndrome, it is super common. It's either a door slamming, explosions ect.

Wow, that's so true dude. I don't have tinnitus in my dreams, but in my dreams I was fighting in a gun battle, literally stopped it and said "i need to put my plugs in" and then continued. Few other times I mentioned my tinnitus lol. It's actually quite amusing

yeah they just scrape the wax out with a very soft plastic instrument, was painless and had no sound.

It wasn't microsuction, just curettes, very gently and painless actually. the muffledness modulates a bit, but I can hear better now, and it seems to go away and come back a bit. My tinnitus is of course lower because I can hear clearly (If not for the muffledness)

He said there was a bit left over, but nothing on the drum or obscuring it, Though he said I may have liquid in the ears which is why he prescribed claritin, should I just try take that?

the issue is, it feels muffled and still feels clogged a tiny bit

Not sure what is causing this, as before the clog it didn't really feel clogged, but he removed enough that he was able to see my ear drum (was not able before) Chewing seems to modulate the sound a bit even opening my jaw the tiniest bit can do it. Pulling on my ear lobe also relieves some...
