Blocked left ear and tinnitus?

2 replies

On Wednesday I woke up with my left ear feeling a bit blocked, went to bed thinking it would somehow right itself by morning. However, woke up Thursday and it feels completely blocked. Went to Boots who advised ear drops and a washing thing. Tried all of those and nothing has worked. There appears to be no wax there causing the blockage.

I have tried : Otex drops, a saline ear spray thing, olive oil and a bulb syringe with warm water. I have also tried holding nose and trying to 'unpop' them and a nasal decongestant spray (suggested by Google)

It feels like they need to 'pop' . I also have high pitched ringing in that ear now and I can't hear anything at all in that ear Sad

Someone on Twitter said it might be the eustachian tube as she has same problem for over a year Shock I haven't had a cold or flu and there is no pain or swelling or anything.

Any ear experts?

No, not an ear expert but you really ought to see your gp.

When I had a very bad ear infection I went deaf on one side and started to hear music because the brain can make up sounds if the ear stops recieving them.
