The Ear Itself Hurts, Independent of Tinnitus

Hey. 19 years old. I have had tinnitus for 9 months. Its can only be heard when its silent around me, I have it in both ears. I had no hearing loss after doing audio test.

I still use headphones to listen to music a lot im kind of addicted to music. Cant live without.

But there is one type of pain I have in my ears, not necessarily during exposure to noise, music, but when its silent around me. A kind of mild independent ear pain of the tinnitus, in a way like the ear itself is hurting from inside. A little similar to when being inside a plane and your ears hurts a lot due to pressure, but the mild version of that.

Is this normal?

 

That's not normal at all and you should get it checked out by a doctor.

 

Is that pain constant? Or do you have it for a few seconds? Bc I experience ear pain as well, almost every da. But just for a few seconds, so I dont care about it...and the ent couldnt find anything...

 

Stop using headphones and make an audiograms until 16khz

 

Defiantly get your ears checked.
It could be wax build up ,ear pressure or the start of a infection .
Let us know how you get on....lots of love glynis

 

for 5-6 seconds. Not constant, but i feel it often. Comes and go

 

Okey , i will. Why dont they do this normally?

 

'Cause lot of ENTs are bad... the dentists look all your teeth ? Not just the level up ... ENT just watch your frequencies between 0 et 8khz (to understand a disccusion I think) & don't check the rest..."you have a perfect audition" Yes until 0 et 8khz...
