Eyes/ear buzzing

[jia754]

6 months ago... I tried to get contacts and i wrote it twice and the next day when i try to put it on, my ear starts buzzing. it's like rejecting it. So i went to my eye doctor and ask him to check my eyes out and he said he didnt see any problems and i went to an ear specialist and she said nothing was wrong and she also cleaned my ears. but ever since i had the contact in my eye. Whenever anything touches my eyeball even if is water, my ear starts buzzing and i get bloodshot eyes. If i cry.. i could hear buzzing in my ear. Did i got an infection?

Hmmmm, I do have one excitable relative who feels her ears buzzing as the first sign of an incipient panic attack.  ;-)

It buzzes when anything that enters my eyes that would touch my eyeballs. If its tinnitus, why would something in my eye can make my ear buzzes? Would it possibly be the pressure?

Well if the only time it does it when you try and wear contacts then stop contacts and wear glasses or have lasik.

If it buzzes at other times it might be tinnitus and you need to see an ENT MD and have a hearing test.

However, after i tried to put on contacts, my ears starts buzzing if anything gets too close to my eyes. Before that, i never had that problem. Do you happen to know what might be the problem if it has nothing to do with contacts?

There is no anatomic reason why wearing contacts would cause buzzing i the ears.
