Cause of Tinnitus
Hit hard by a volleyball, left ear.
Just found you guys! Hello!

I've had tinnitus for almost two years. I was hit very hard on the left ear with a hard volleyball serve. At least I know what caused mine. Had my GP check my ear and was told it looks fine. I just cope with it.

Today, however, I flew from TX to FL and watched TV with earbuds. My right ear stopped up as sometimes is normal when flying. It is now 5 hours since I got off the plane. My right ear is now ringing, also, and still clogged. I tried all the usual methods to "pop" the right ear. And nothing is working. Ugh!!! Now both ears are ringing. Any advice?
