Tinnitus Volume Cranked Up in One Ear

[Gooders20]

I've had low level ringing in both ears for as long as I can remember.

I got severe earache / infection in one ear. I was prescribed some medications for the infection and have been on them for a week now. The earache is gone but the ringing is now deafening in my ear. Almost like having a cotton wool ball stuffed down it.

The ringing is becoming unbearable, although the doctor said the infection may be driving it. I'm really not sure. I just hope the volume goes down.

It's been a couple of weeks now since the increased ringing began. Three courses of antibiotics appears to have sorted the infection but the ringing remains.

Doctors were helpful but basically told me the ring will subside 'in time' . Not sure how long that will be or what more I can do. I'm practically deaf in one ear now.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hey, not sure if you are around on Tinnitus Talk anymore, but I just came across your story and it sounds quite similar to something I'm going through right now.

How are you feeling now?
