Hi, I have moderate hearing loss. It's no joke, it's a problem. The hearing loss came first and then the T a few years later. I had both of these problems for a number of years but never any ear fullness or ear pain problems. That started 2 months ago while I was sick with an upper respiratory infection. While I was sick, one of my ears plugged up and hurt. That's when I developed tinnitus for the first time in the affected ear and in general my T spiked involving my other ear also. I'm still having problems with the ear that feels fullness and pain. It's very frustrating because doctors don't see anything wrong so I end up treating myself with antihistamines, decongestants and nasal spray. These things are helping but it's hard to treat yourself without the help of a doctor. :-(
