For 6 months now I've had a problem that at first was treated as a sinus infection (antibiotics, sinus pills, CT scan), but that is not the problem. Three weeks ago I got tympanostomy tubes inserted thinking it was an ear tube blockage. The ENT said if that was the case then the tubes should have been working by now, but it's even worse.
I have loud ringing (which has got worse since the tube insertion) and a great deal of pressure in my head. Before the tube insertion I was popping my ears every 15 minutes or so, but now can't pop them at all. Both symptoms are 24 hours a day and never lessen. My ENT now seems stumped and says it musn't be in his area. I've had sinus infections before that cleared up no problem with mild antibiotics. I'm now left with being told in the next month if it doesn't get better with the tubes, then that's about all this dr can offer. I'm going crazy with the pressure and noise and don't know how much longer I can stand it.
Looking for any possible directions with this. Greatly appreciated.
