Ringing in ear
I have continued ringing in one or both(at times) ear. Consulted ENT specialist twice, he said nothing to worry. He asked if I had cold recently, I had heavy cold and cough in November. His suspicion that it is an aftermath.
Was given Allegra for a week and ear drops to clear out build up wax, if any. No relief from ringing noise.
Went for a follow up, informed that I have sinusitis and that because of cold weather have been waking up with nasal congestion daily.
He took a hearing test, readings normal.
He gave a course of antibiotics and nasal decongestant for a week, still no diff.
I still feel the ears are blocked, with left been more blocked than the right ear and continued.
Please advise on why this could be happening and if it is something serious or to be worried about.
Tinnitus is a ringing or buzzing noise in one or both ears that may be constant or come and go.
Ringing in ears can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include exposure to loud sounds, whiplash, head injuries, too much ear wax or medication side effects.
Next Steps
Decongestants nasal drop-
Drop the required number of drops into each nostril. The aim is to get the liquid to spread over all the inside surface of the nose - including the upper surface.
A good position is to lie on a bed with your head hanging back over the edge. Stay like this for two minutes after putting in the drops before getting up.
