ear hearing/sound problems. Hello I have been trying to understand what and why this was happening for almost 2 years now. I have seen a specialist, and have done most every possible test. –rather unfortunate experience all together. The only explanation I have received from the doctor’s assistant was “tinnitus” Regardless, I would like to have a better understand of my ear problem and if there is anything I can do to prevent/protect my hearing -The incidents happen anywere from twice a month to once every three months. Each time, it lasts for several days. During the beginning days, I become very sensitive to sound. Everything is too loud for the right ear, especially the low frequencies/base sounds. At first the noise is slow, more like heart-beat. Next, the (blinking +drum-roll-like) noise attacks start, with inconsistent but frequent attacks. Each segment last for several seconds with a second or so 2 intervals of quiet in between. This can go on for hours/day before it dies out. During the pick days, the music I play or listen to is out of tune. I can clearly pick up the overtones ( multiple layers of pitches) in the high register both on a recording or in my own singing) ((((I am almost hesitant to say that I am a musician))) I am convinced this is not the course of the problem. -When I blink, I hear the action sound loudly in my ears. It is something that I can manipulate depending on how “hard” I blink (if that makes sense??) -When I tap on the chin, I can tell that there is a lot more resonance (noise) in the right ear. -Also, I have noticed that often times the symptoms come back when I am coming down with a flue, cold or might have access fluid in the ear. -I also almost always get headaches if I leave my hair wet for the past 15 years. Could the ear issue be connected to a similar cold symptoms?
