Blocked Ears and Lingering Tinnitus After Flight with Nasal Congestion

[tina cori]

Hi everyone,

Six weeks ago, I took a flight while I was already sick with nasal congestion. Since that day, I have felt my ears blocked and have had constant tinnitus. Over time, it has been improving, and now I only hear a very low tinnitus.

I went to my GP, who examined my ears and said they look fine. I have never experienced pain, dizziness, bleeding, or anything like that. I know ears can take time to recover, but I am not sure if I should see an ENT or just wait a bit longer.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Thanks!

How are you doing, @tina cori?

I am doing much better, though I still have very low tinnitus. I hope it fades away over time.
