Hello,
I'll start from the beginning! Everything started in June on a flight during landing where I was experiencing severe pain from the pressure. I had tried everything, swallowing, yawning, etc and nothing was working so I blocked my nose and blew. This caused my eardrum to perforate which has not healed since mid June.
At the time I had no idea what was going on so after a GP visit, I found out I had an ear infection which was easily treated with ear drop antibiotics.
Once that was treated, I went back and found out I have a perforation along with retracted eardrums. The retracted eardrums fixed itself but the perforation did not.
5 months of dealing with no water in my ear, clicking sounds and hyperacusis later I started developing tinnitus in that ear.
I have not been eating, sleeping or doing anything apart from crying for the past 2 weeks. I need hope. My ENT appointment is in 17 days but I don't know how long I can deal with this noise for. The GP can't do much more to help me other than telling me to wait for my appointment.
If anyone has had/knows of a case similar to mine who has recovered, PLEASE let me know, I need hope.
