Hello =)
It all started with a low high pitched ring in my right ear that lasted for about 3-5 seconds. Didn't really think much of it until I noticed around new years that I had a mild ringing in the same ear that didn't go away. It's very mild and I only notice it when i'm in a quiet environment or when I plug my ear with a finger. Can't recall what has caused this, I do use headphones when gaming but at a moderate level, have stopped using them for now. Its been two weeks now and it hasn't seemed to have gone away. Around the first week I went to a local clinic complaining about the noise and the doctor simply told me that he has it as well (cool, your in your 40s im only 19 WTF) One night I called my mother in fear because I couldn't sleep due to the annoyance, the next day she took me to the er where I was diagnosed with serous otitis media and was prescribed a nasal spray to relieve it. I've been using the spray for about 6 days now with no improvement. I now find myself sleeping over at a friends house for comfort. Next week I go back to college where i'll find myself in much quitter environments trying to study, im extremely worried. I pray that it will soon go away but have lost hope since it's been going on for 2 weeks now. The dr did refer me to an ENT but I will have to wait until March. Any help would be appreciated =)
