    Ear Drum Is Vibrating/Pulsating

    @Mark Beehre Sadly my T is due to ear syringing-the first one too. Which sucks! Thankfully I only syringed one ear due to impacted ear wax causing me pain and T. I don't have H...yet. I hope these spasms stop though, will definitely stick to ear drops in the future though for cleaning.

    ENT Appointment — What to Expect and Ask?

    Hi Susan, I say get your audiogram done also tympanometric (sp) to make sure your equalizing pressure right (eardrums-tubes.) When did your T start exactly? Both ears? maybe he will opt you out for steroids or maybe some meds to clear up any infection since I read ear infection on your dp.
