Suggest Treatment For Crackling Noise In Ear

I have had an issue with my right ear for two weeks now, crackling noise, it is intermittent. Sometimes water running makes it happen, sometimes in bed it is worse, during the day it goes somewhat mute. I have not had a cold, grave illness, I have been using a Walkman for about two weeks for C.D. s when at work doing mundane filing. I have tried Tea Tree Oil, ignoring it, hoping it would go away it has not. I do not take any drugs, I am 65 years young. Trudy

Hello,

You may be suffering from tinnitus. It may be due to allergy or nerve degeneration or infection in the middle ear or eustachian tube block. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Get it done audiometry and tympanogram. Use tablet Cognix plus for five days. Water vapor inhalation for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult with your physician / ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu, Internal Medicine Specialist
