I've been finding I can't hear properly so I went to the doctor and they said it was wax. I have had the Works removed and a hearing test and they said I've got significant hearing loss and suggested I get hearing aids. I I think I might have carttarh because I keep coughing up this stuff from my throat so I've got a doctor's appointment next week to discuss it further because the opticians where I got the Works removed don't deal with anything other than wax

More likely due to removal of the wax than hearing test. My tinnitus is worse when not wearing ha as sound balance is wrong.

Im confident my tinitus will go away because 3 years ago i went to a party with a live band. I sat too near the band and got tinitus. It was only in right ear. After about 3 weeks it stopped. I have no idea the tinitus is always in the right ear. Its not very loud. Im tempted to phone the optician and tell them ive got tinitus after having my ears done. When i had my ears syringed many years ago i never got tinitus

Ok. I went to my Doctor Who looked into my ears and said I have a lot of cattarh in both ears and that is why I cannot hear so the hearing test I was given was a complete waste of time and not accurate so together with the doctors help I am trying to get my ears and blocked then I will get another hearing test to determine the true Nature of my hearing and my doctor is going to send me to my local hospital for the second hearing test because she does not want me to go back to an optician for that so for the time being I will not be getting hearing aids because we do not know whether I actually do have a hearing loss. I am actually surprised that the audiologist at the optician didn't consider this because all she did was removed wax and said you have hearing loss I've tested you get hearing aids
