I rang the surgery because the tinnitus in my left ear is getting louder. Got a call back with an appt for Tuesday so I guess they’re not unduly worried but I’m concerned that it may not just be due to excess earwax. I always thought you just got blocked ears with muffled sound. Perhaps I have loads of wax. Also, when I rest on my other ear that isn’t noisy I can hear every movement amplified eg when I’m lying on my pillow. Oh & if I cover my left ear as if to block out sound then let go, I get a twanging like a guitar string being plucked instead of the usual noise. Does any of this sound normal or should I be concerned?
P.S The sounds are mainly running water & hissing with the occasional whistle or ringing
