BubbaVO Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I lost almost all hearing in my right ear. Persistent ringing. Progressively worse for years. I didn’t see a doc. Should’ve - my sister and brother are MDs so I know better. Finally went in. Doc took a tool that looked like dental pick and scraped away inside my ear. He pulls out a chunk of compacted wax. Dang it if I heard fine out of that ear. No ringing. Glad I saw the doc. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a doctor so I will need to start with the yellow pages I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue what is going on here but am happy for it. For what its worth, I've figured out that my blood pressure is always A LOT higher when I'm short on sleep. I feel the pain on the one ear hearing loss. My own isn't a mystery: I managed to have a welding spark go straight through the eardrum and into the nerve (according to the ENT doc). They gave me some steroids to try and fix things, and I came away with about 30% loss over 1k compared to my other ear (which was around 10% better than the baseline for my age group). That was around ten years ago and I am finally used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
