Buzzing in Left Ear & Clicking in Right
Hello Doctor,
I have buzzing sound in my left ear for 3 years. Earlier, I had ear pain only when exposed to loud sounds, but now it is mainly buzzing. Medications from ENT did not help. PTA report attached , tympanometry normal.
Whenever I swallow saliva, I hear a clicking sound in my right ear, but almost none in the left ear. As per this symptom:
Why is there no clicking sound in the left ear?
Why do I have buzzing in the left ear?
What could this be and which further tests can help?
(I forgot to mention this symptom earlier, as I never noticed it clearly before.)
