    Playing Basketball Seemed to Cause Further Damage — Ear Fullness and Increased Tinnitus

Ive also been more careful and have not played basketball since then in fear of worsening the condition. My tinnitus is pretty much the same, no real improvements in over 2 years. One weird thing is the...

    Thanks for your reply, I'll definitely look into Cranial instability and CSF since this is something I haven't really considered

    Playing Basketball Seemed to Cause Further Damage — Ear Fullness and Increased Tinnitus

    Any Advice for Possible Lack of Blood Flow to Ear?

    I agree. I have been calling many different ENT offices in my area. Most have told me I need a doctor referral and the rest only have appointments in January. I have a GP appointment on Dec 14 but I'm not sure what help they could provide.
