I Had A Pimple In My Ear And Now It Has Started Thumping Inside
a few months back, I had a pimple, or cyst show up on the edge of my ear canal . It swelled up badly popped and healed. However, ever since then, for some time now my ear has been feeling as if it is plugged. I can hear fine, but now it has started thumping inside and it s driving me crazy. It seems as if it s twitching inside or something. I am an audio engineer so it worries me tremendously...

Hi Dusto Marro,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum
The blockage of the ear can be because of the accumulation of cerumen (wax) inside the ear canal or an Eustachian tube block secondary to cold/flu. You need to consult your ENT specialist for a thorough examination of the ear.
Take care
Regards
Dr. Naveen Kumar
