Woke up with sudden ringing
Hello, sorry if this isnt the right place to post this but I woke up this morning with a loud sudden ringing in my right ear and my hearing in that ear feels a bit muffled/“off” compared to my left. It also feels like pressure or a weird “full” sensation inside my head/ear. The ringing comes and goes but the hearing difference has been pretty noticeable since I woke up.
I went to urgent care the same day because I got really worried. The doctor looked inside my ear and said there’s no infection or anything visibly wrong. He thinks it’s probably something like pressure/Eustachian tube issues or allergies and gave me an antihistamine to take for 10 days and told me to come back if it doesn’t improve.
For context, I’ve also been sleeping mostly on my right side for the past few days because my left ear just got pierced and I’ve been trying not to put pressure on it. I also used AirPods while sleeping recently, so I’m not sure if that could’ve contributed.
has anyone else gone through this? Have you made a full recovery? I'm honestly really scared
