I get tinnitus in my right ear after self irrigating the ear for wax did I damage my ear
hi it is always dangerous to predict and take action in case of their own health the tinnitus in your case is not due to earwax it may be due to the blockage of the eustachian tube connecting middle ear and back of the nasal cavity its primary work is to equalize pressure between environment and middle ear this is also a prediction the real cause can be found after an ear examination as you have already mentioned nowadays it is a little hard to go for treatment what you can do is practice some no side effect formulas steam inhalation start sipping lukewarm water for tinnitus use resound relief app which has so many natural sound combos use that in speaker mode never use earphones do not put oil and do not do the treatment on your own unknowingly you are worsening the conditions
hello doctor since about a week and a half ago I have had tinnitus in my right ear this was after self irrigating the ear with one of those squeezy syearinges that come with the tex ear drops before doing this I was putting in oil drops for about a week prior quite a bit of wax came out but now I have this hissing noise in my ear which gets worse when listening to podcasts and music at low medium levels it also seems to become more pronounced when I chew I have had a subtle amount of ear pain over the past week but that seems to have gone now but the hissing sound has not improved at all I am worried I may have applied too much pressure when squeezing the ear syearinge and have damaged my eardrum I was wondering if this will heal over time and the tinnitus will go away I cannot go see a go due to corona so an opinion would be much appreciated
