I was a scuba diver in the past and had some barotrauma a couple times in the middle ear. This was treated at the time. Sometimes, the re-occurring tinnitus is accompanied by a fullness in the Eustachian tube which never seems to be able to relieved. Specialists like ENTs only recommend decongestants which never seem to solve the Eustachian tube issue. So, it's a real mystery. Seems to have gotten worse after taking Simvastatin that the doctor recommended for cholesterol that was a little high. After 3 months of taking that, I stopped since the T got worse.
