Hello, this is my first time on this board. Last night while watching T.V. all of the sudden I got this very high pitched sqeal in my left ear. I was almost as if someone put something right next to my ear and turned it on full blast. It only lasted a few seconds, but afterwards my ear felt stuffy. This morning I had almost forgotten about it when I felt a little dizzy and thought I could hear a slight ringing. Then I went to my aerobics class and have been fine since. Does anyone have any idea what this might have been? I have never had a problem with wax buildup, and have always had excellent hearing. I am 33 years old. Thanks in advance for any replys! Janet
Well, I wish I could tell you what it is. I have had a simalar problem except mine happens when I go to bed. Almost every time I go to bed my right ear rings. It rings until I fall asleep. I don't understand it myself. Even when I woke up this morning it was still ringing and I am only twenty years old and I have clean ears. I wish I knew what was going on. I just thought you might like to know my experience.
Thanks for your reply. Actually, my ear does this when I go to bed, also. I wonder why this is? Maybe we are so busy during the day, with so much noise around us, that when we go to bed it is "too" quiet! Thanks again, Janet
Hi 4isenuf. I can relate to your situation. When you have noises in your ear it is called Tinnitus. The American Tinnitus Society can help you to learn more about this or if you are Canadian (I am) then contact the Canadian Hearing Society. As well, look in your library for more information. I have had Tinnitus for 2 years now, with moderate hearing loss in both ears. I am 40 now. It can be frustrating until you realize and recognize what it is. Go for it girl. check it out
Do you know what is causing your tinnitus, and hearing loss? I'm 38, and suffer from tinnitus in both ears, as well as hearing loss. My ear specialist figures it's caused by an autoimmune disorder of the inner ear.
