Numb Ear and Hearing Loss After Ear Wax Cleaning
I went to the ENT to check on my sinuses (turns out I was having a migraine). ENT got excited when she saw wax buildup in my ears, started going crazy before I could even say no. She dropped hydrogen peroxide and put some numbing agent on a cotton ball in my ears and nose. The whole face was... -
Is Skateboarding Too Loud? Can It Damage Hearing or Make Tinnitus Worse?

I Don't Know What to Do Anymore — Sacrificing Everything to Prevent Tinnitus from Getting Worse
I don't want to make another gloom and doom post, there are enough and they're probably scaring the shit out of people who don't need it. But I don't know who else to go to about this and it's eating me alive. I guess I just want to see if anyone has been through similar motions of having to...
