Strange Hearing Blockage and Distortion — I'm New Here

Tinnitus Since
1987
Cause of Tinnitus
Ear infection
Hi my name is Sue and I am new on here.

I have had tinnitus since 1987, around 17 years ago I had eustachian tube dysfunction , horrible to say the least.

Three years ago when I was over tired I mean exhausted occasionally max three times a year I would wake with really odd hearing distortion , over three years I slowly developed more attacks, but since Christmas I have had this for nearly three weeks , it is terrible in the mornings after laying down but can sometimes ease up in the day.

I have just seen a hearing doctor and audiologist , having an MRI scan tomorrow , this is the most unpleasant sensation , it feels as though my ear is plugged , so it feels as though sound is hitting a wall in my right ear, I am stressed out but very rational too.

I have a slight hearing loss in my right ear very slight , any body else experienced this , any support or similar stories would be of help as I am at a loss as to know what it is, my hearing g sounds horrible at present .

Thank you kindly.

I am 58.

Could this again be my eustachian tube?
