Developing Tinnitus in My Good Ear

[kate08]

I recently caught a fever last week and I think I may have developed tinnitus in my good ear. I have already had tinnitus in my right ear from almost two years ago. The sounds I hear in that ear are a constant high pitched ringing and it's also very sensitive to loud noises.

I was very congested and had a runny nose. I blew my nose and immediately felt some pressure in my left ear. Ever since then, I think I may have developed a very low ringing in my good ear. It seems pretty normal when I'm surrounded by noises. When it's quiet though I can hear a very low hiss every once in a while.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this while they were sick and if you have, did it eventually go away?

As far as I know it's normal. I have hearing loss in my bad T ear (constant hiss which fluctuates in volume), but when I make certain movements or get a cold or sleep in a funny position, the right ear will act up. I think hormones might affect it as well. The tone is completely different -- more like bells or pure tones rather than the bad ear's electric hiss. It's scary when the good ear acts up, but it goes away.

Oh okay that's such a relief. Hopefully my good ear goes back to normal soon
