Hello,
I had my earwax removed because my ears felt blocked, and my tinnitus became louder, especially in my left ear, which was fully blocked by the wax. The removal was done manually, not through microsuction or any similar method.
Since the removal, my tinnitus has been extremely loud, especially when I wake up. It feels so high pitched that I can barely tolerate it. I have had tinnitus for 15 years and have gone through several wax removals before, but this is the first time I have experienced such a severe spike. I feel really hopeless.
That said, yesterday was actually my best day. My tinnitus was about 1 out of 10. I am not sure how that happened. Maybe the pitch was so high that I could not hear it anymore?
Has anyone else experienced something similar? My left ear canal also feels like it is burning.
Any insight would mean a lot.
