So last week, I started to notice a ringing in my ears. That wouldn’t go away. And got worse at night. Tinnitus. People with hearing loss are vulnerable (Beethoven had it, Bono has it). Usually noise-related hearing loss precipitates the ringing, but people with congenital hearing loss (like me) can also get it.
I have experienced ringing in my ears before, but it always went away and didn’t really bother me to the extent I was distracted.It is becoming a major problem for me. I find myself struggling to think of what I want to say, and I keep getting tongue-tied, which is not normal for me.
My head hurts a little, and it feels like there is a lot of pressure in my ears. I had a parent-teacher conference with a mom who is also an ENT, and she suggested taking Sudafed and using Affrin. It could be that I have fluid on my ears which is causing problems with my eardrum. Lord, I hope it’s just fluid that will go away sooner or later (sooner, please!!!)
I know it’s not the worst thing to happen, but I am really scared about the possibility that this ringing won’t go away.

It’s always awful waiting for the diagnosis. The waiting, that stinking in between place where you are neither where you were (healthy) or where you want to be (all better). I wish you a perfect bill of health. And hopefully, while you wait for the appointment, the ringing will go away.
Maybe it just means an old flame is thinking about you. 😉
Thank you for visiting my blog today.
