I’m Begging You Please Help Me
I am 21, 5’ 10”, I’m also around 185lbs. I am also a African American male. I have smoked and drank on rare occasions but not too often. I have no other hearing related issues. Possibly TMJ problems because they’re in the same area I’ve heard TMJ issues can cause hearing problems. Although that’s true, I believe this is some sort of acoustic shock or whatever. I also don’t smoke or drink on a regular basis. I have before, but it’s not a habitual thing. So I’ve recently visited the ENT, urgent care, and audiologist for some sort of acoustic trauma I experienced around 2-3 years ago. This occurred when playing loud music in the car. Then next morning my ears felt clogged or at least like you pressed your hands over your ears. This lasted maybe like 3-4 days then they slowly recovered. Ever since then my ears have been susceptible to loud sounds. Like for example let’s say I hear loud music from a speaker, my ears will start to feel clogged again. They are also itchy, there’s like a dull pain, and overall feel very uncomfortable. You know how sometimes you’re in a high elevated area and your ears pop? Well a normal person can just yawn or swallow to clear that pressure. For me it’s perpetually like that some days are worse than others. Currently they’re fairly bad and the discomfort is fairly noticeable with that being said from the visit from the ENT, Auidiologist, urgent care they said structurally my ears look fine and that also ny hearing tests were perfect. So I honestly don’t know what to do especially when specialist can’t even tell me what’s going on.
