Dd2 mentioned at bedtime on Tuesday she could hear a little sound in her ear when it was quiet. She made the noise and it was the same as I have had with tinnitus occasionally. She fine in the day but says she hears it when it’s quiet - at bedtime mostly.
I took her to see the nurse at the doctors yesterday and she said no infection but could see a slight inflammation inside on both that could possibly be causing it. She advised swimming ear plugs, as she has a swimming lesson once a week.
This morning Dd2 called me in for the first time in the morning and said she could hear it again, but it was a bit louder. She’s fine once up and about/at school, it’s during quiet times. I feel pretty helpless.
Not sure what’s caused it, nurse thinks could be chlorine in pool, but she hasn’t been swimming for almost 2 weeks. She does wear headphones to go on a tablet, but they are supposed to be kid limited volume and she doesn’t go on it constantly or even every day. She had been listening to music/dancing on the afternoon it first appeared.
Does anyone have experience of this? Will it go in time? Is there anything I can do to help the bit of inflammation? Any advise on swimming ear plugs?
