I'm booked for a full ear health examination and hearing test next week due to the following:
Recent (past month at least ) constant high pitched ringing in both ears.
This is on the back of the following background - i had a chest infection back when i was 21/22 )I'm now 50) and this resulted in my ears/eustachian tubes feeling blocked and muffled.
This has never resolved and often i've forgotten about it and learnt to live with it but have occasionally consulted a GP about it - nasal sprays didn't work and that's all they offered me in the UK.
Numerous times a day I try to equalise the pressure in my ears , as you do on a plane but this results in a load of strange noises and pressure changes then back to the muffled baseline!
In NZ i had a CT Scan which showed nothing out of the ordinary however the Doctor did say something about the stuffy feeling being due to a mechanical cause (jaw/ear bones?) but then nothing else came of that.
I will update following my hearing exam - i wonder if hearing aids would help.. ?
