I've had tinnitus since I was 19. The ringing and sensitivity started in one ear and then the other, but it was never that bad i would only hear the ringing if I was in a room that was quiet even then it wasn't that loud so i learned to live with it.
So here's what happened: I have an issue with excessive ear wax so this past October my left ear clogged up so I used one of those rubber syringe from ear wax kit to flush wax out (I've been doing that for years never had a problem till now).
Well what normally happens is i feel the air rush back in and i can hear again but this time that didn't happen so i tried syringing a few more times but all i did was make me dizzy.
So i noticed the next day that my ear still felt clogged/full and the ringing was way louder and i was more sensitive to noises like if a tv was at a certain volume it would sound weird and my hearing wasn't were it should be at like for example i was outside and the cricket noise they make i could hear it on my right but when i turn to my left i couldn't really hear it at all.
So i kind of dealt with it till now, didn't have money at the time.
so i recently went to an ENT and they said my eardrum was normal and there wasn't any wax so i have a hearing test in a week.
but i'm wondering could it be eustachian tube dysfunction since i noticed that when i try to pop my ears only my right does but when i swallow i can hear a pop in both ears.
maybe someone can help me? I've been driving myself crazy lately. can't stand it anymore.
