I have also noticed that on rainy days, my tinnitus and my ears in general feel worse. It is really annoying. So it definitely seems to have something to do with air pressure. We can only hope there will be some major breakthroughs in the next five to ten years. Because I swear, the feeling inside my ear is not my imagination.
What I hate about this condition is that even ENT doctors look at me like I am a crazy person when I try to describe it. I tell them, "It feels like something is swollen inside my ear, like a rubber ball. It feels like a sharp knife or a laser is burning my eardrum."
Then they just stare at you like:
And say something like, "That is not possible. It is just your brain acting up."
No. It is not.
It feels like I am living in the time before modern medicine. Back then, before they understood the cause of peptic ulcers, doctors would say it was caused by stress and repressed emotions.
Actually, mold symptoms are still often treated in the same way. "Oh, well, I do not get sick from mold, so maybe you are just depressed or stressed?"
A bit off topic, but I had to say it.
