Hi team
Due to a viral infection I had developed sudden tinnitus in right ear last March 2023
Audiograms confirmed SNHL
Now I was on treatment with my different ENT doc's
Adenoidectomy and septoplasty spur removed in November 2023
Recently had MRI brain and normal
Tinnitus was improving and reduces to slight hiss now
Again I developed Bad cold last Friday 1 March 2024 with slight fever and sore throat
Unable to pop ear while blowing air from nose
Ear clogged as like ear is plugged making difficult to hear from both ears and again tinnitus is at hissing level but a bit loud
Feels pressure on cheek and nose and ear sometimes head
Fever gone nasal congestion reduced but ear clogging still there like pressure in the ear
GP prescribed meds reduced fever and cold
Tinnitus also needs to be reduced as well (back to previous low levels as it was almost gone)
Unable to figure what to do with the ears and frequent URTI?
Pls advise ..

Hi
First of all never try to pop your ear when u have cold as it can cause too much pressure on the ear drum
Usually even after the cold subsides blockage of the ear takes time to come down
When there is blockage of ear there is always a change for the tinnitus to be aggravated
Next Steps
Kindly consult for further evaluation and treatment
