    Sticking Finger in Ear to Hear Spikes

    Fullness and Blockage — Part of the Tinnitus Journey?

    We really are!! I feel like our T is the same! Honestly, I've noticed that my fullness and ear ache comes if I sleep on it wrong! Or just randomly!

    Fullness and Blockage — Part of the Tinnitus Journey?

    Hey so as you know I only have it in my left ear even tho sometimes I hear it in my right. But there is a huge difference with fullness in the ear with T. Esp when my left ear is hurting and my right ear is just acting normal. I just don't know it's so strange! Z

    Is There a Relation Between Floaters and Tinnitus?

    I also have adies tonic pupil syndrome, super super rare mostly in women where i can make my left eye dialates on its own. So the floaters have really gotten worse but I choose to ignore them. It's weird that it's my left ear when I get T in March but I've had ATPS since September.
