What to do with this tinnitus?!


Question: What to do with this tinnitus?
Today I went to the ENT. They checked on my hearing, and condition of my ear and said everything is fine, yet I have this tinnitus. Earlier this year I had an ear infection that was covered up by excessive wax, but I have gotten that treated. Could this possibly be a phantom effect? and will it last for life? and what should I do from hear on?

I also don't really listen to music at loud volumes.

The right amount of ear wax is good for you. It protects our eardrums by repelling moisture; works as a barrier against infection and traps insects before they can reach the inner ear. Of course, too much ear wax can cause problems.

A buildup of ear wax (especially on the ear drum) has been linked to tinnitus. The good news is that, most patients report complete recovery once the excess wax is removed.

So be sure to have a doctor clear out your ear canal to avoid damage.

In rare cases patients reported tinnitus symptoms following ear wax removal. However, there is no scientific evidence to support these claims. Most doctors feel that patients were already experiencing some degree of tinnitus before the wax removal and only became aware of it once the cloudiness in their hearing was clearing by the cleaning.

Too much ear wax that build up on your ear canal may cause tinnitus. Make sure to have it removed by your doctor. If your still hearing tinnitus after the removal, have your doctor checked it and seek advice how to managed it until it goes away.
