Tinnitus Since
17th October
Cause of Tinnitus
aeroplane barotrauma (Otitus media)
Hi, I'm new here.

On October 17, I experienced the worst pain while descending on a flight. For the last two weeks, I've been suffering from barotrauma. I was prescribed antibiotics and Flixonase nasal spray, but nothing seems to be working. I just can't get my Eustachian tube to unblock, and it has now developed into continuous tinnitus.

I'm at my wits' end. I saw a nurse at my clinic, but she said the hospital won't do anything because it's still too early.

Please, if anyone has any advice, I'm desperate.
