Hello! My name is Daniel, I am currently a student (junior) in High School. Here's a little history about when it all started. It began on 1/17/16 at 9:04pm when I heard some ringing, I heard the same noise before, and it would usually go away. Anyways, it went away, but during the night, it became louder than my fan at around 4:30am and it kept me up until 5:33am, and I got anxious. It was the day before exams start (Monday 1/18/16) it went away for the rest of the day. I went on with life as normal, until Wednesday 1/20/16, in my US History class. When I finished my exam (which I got a D btw) I was there, just being the person I am, doodling airplanes at gates, runways, taxiways, pretty much drawing something related to aviation. That is when it came back, I heard a faint sound. I ignored it, and it wend away. I then had two days off, In which the tinnitus steadily went on and off. Until yesterday, I would feel pressure in my ears. I visited the school nurse on Monday 2/8/16 at 2:41pm and asked to get my ears checked. What I was about to hear was what I had speculated all along. She told me I had a lot (and I mean A LOT) of earwax to the point in which she can't see the eardrum. The strangest part is that I can still hear perfectly fine, with very minor hearing loss. I somewhat stopped using earphones for some reason, and when I do use them, it does get a little bit worse, but when I stop playing music, it produces a very loud ringing, which does fade. I had a physical coming up the following week (Monday) so I had no choice but to wait it out [End]. As for the earwax, which was the culprit to my tinnitus btw, I have these questions which bothered me: if I get the earwax removed, will the tinnitus go away? Will it come back again? What should I do if it doesn't go away even if the earwax was removed? I hope it goes away once I tell my doctor about the issue. I need honest anwsers about if the tinnitus will go away after they remove the earwax. Other than that, I would love to read more and learn more about tinnitus, thanks!
