Try finding someone that does "Ear Candling"\n\nIts a hollow bees wax candle that gets placed in your ear canal the other end is then lit on fire........this creates a vacuum effect (it DOES NOT hurt, i get it done all the time) \nWhat it does is pull out all the old ear wax, old and new infection, helps eliminate: "sinus infections", colds, headaches/migraines, sore throats.....and basically any form of  "head/ear/throat" infections or problems.\nThis has been practised for 1000's of years......the Egyptians used hollowed our reeds.\nDo the research......you'll love it once you get it done (I promise)\n\nStay away from antibiotics...all they do is kill all bacteria in your body (good and bad) it does help for a while.....but all it does is mask what is REALLY causing the problem. It treats the symptoms NOT the problem.\nStart by going to a health food store or a naturalpath and ask for  "acidophilus " all it does is promote the growth of the GOOD bacteria in your body making it stronger then the bad.....it doesnt kill anything just makes your immune system stronger. When your immune system is strong you can fight off infections much easier and faster!!!\nAlso:\nAll acidophilus products are not created equal. \nYou can pay less, but you won’t get more.\n\nGOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

It depends on the cause and extent of the conductive hearing loss. An ENT Surgeon (Ear, Nose & Throat) will assess you and discuss the advantages and disadvantages with performing surgery. Sometimes their advice is to not to operate, and use hearing aids instead. Also, be aware that some surgeries e.g. a stapedectomy to treat otosclerosis may reverse over a number of years, and the hearing loss return. However, if your ENT surgeon is confident that surgery is the best option, go for it.

It is called tinnitis. You need to see an ENT about it. That's and ear, nose and throat specialist. There are treatments for it.

There are several over the counter remedies, one by Murine and one called Debrox.  There are also generic equivalents.  Peroxide can also work.  The problem with all of these is that they are water based, not oil based.  Since wax is also oil based, using warm oil can sometimes be more effective.\n\nIf ear wax is a chronic, reoccurring problem, try using a few drops of oil daily to prevent buildup (any oil will work, most people use mineral oil or sweet oil).\n\nIf the wax is impacted, the only good way to remove it is to have your doctor remove it either by flushing with warm water or with a "cerumen scoop" (ear-wax picker).

Ok the cut open potatoe and cigarette smoke may both work but DO NOT under any circumstances put oil in your ear canal.  It will never come out without having your ear completely irrigated by an ear, nose, and throat specialist.  Peroxide is one thing because it's not going to cling to every surface in your ear but do not use oil.\nHeating pads and some ibuprofen or similar pain reliever will work quite well.  Trust me I've gone 20 yrs avoiding getting tubes in my ears because of ear infections.  If you have an appointment with a doctor tomorrow, ride it out with the heating pad and pain reliever and you'll be fine.  Without the pain reliever, you'll have a pretty sleepless night but the doctor will better be able to see what's going on inside your ear.  I wish you well.

Hello Bro,\n\n              There are many ways of looking at it.\nJust read the article below which throws light on how many hings can cause the problem you ae talking about. In summary, things that could cause the problems are:\n\n1.) A hard impact in the wrong place causing clot and clot bursting sometime later crwating a haemorrage.\n2.) Hereditary\n3.) Disease - Diabetes (which could also be herditary\n4.) Wrong drugs.\n\nAll i can say is the person having this problem needs immediate medical attention.\n\nRead the article below for more info.\n\nKeep hearing loss at bay \n\nDr. SHAILAJA NIKAM \n\nThere are many causes for losing one's hearing. Early identification is crucial to prevent or minimise loss of hearing.  \n\n\n\n\n\nPREVENTING loss of hearing must constitute a major programme for the well being of an individual. Efforts on the part of the State as well as the individual are required towards prevention — primary, secondary and tertiary. \n\nPrimary prevention requires the State to initiate programmes like immunisation against diseases, providing prenatal care, initiating neonatal screening programmes in the hospitals and hearing screening in schools. \n\nLegislation to keep noise levels within prescribed limits and a mandatory hearing conservation programme in industries are other measures. Efforts at the individual level must supplement the State initiatives. \n\nWhy wax? \n\n\nNature has provided glands that produce wax to keep foreign bodies like insects from entering the ear. The wax moves on its own towards the opening of the ear canal. Using sharp objects to remove wax harms the ear canal wall and the eardrum. Swimmers must ensure that the pool is clean. Use of earplugs can prevent contact with contaminated waters. \n\nThe Eustachian tube is the link between the middle ear and the back of the throat. It opens during yawning and swallowing. The exchange of air during this process helps in maintaining a proper balance of air pressure on both sides of the eardrum, which is essential for good hearing \n\nNot many know that fluid accumulation in the ear is detrimental to good hearing and can also damage the ear structures. So, ears must be kept free of discharge, which is caused by poor ventilation of the middle ear. \n\nFluid secreted by the mucous lining of the middle ear fills the vacuum. Fluid fills the space normally occupied by air in the middle ear. Thus ensuring good ventilation of the ear through a patent Eustachian tube is a potent preventive measure. \n\nInflammation \n\n\nOtitis media or inflammation of the middle ear can be acute, secretory or chronic. Acute otitis media is caused by general infection such as measles, chicken pox, or infection conveyed to the ear through blood stream. \n\nMore commonly, it is due to infection spreading through the nose, nasopharynx, and sinuses via the Eustachian tube. Due to inflammation, the swollen Eustachian tube does not drain the pus. So, the fluid or pus is retained in the middle ear cavity. The pus may escape or drain through a ruptured or incised tympanic membrane, the eardrum. \n\nIn case the thin partition between the middle ear and the brain is unable to obstruct the pus, it may break through the partition and cause meningitis. \n\nTreatment for otitis media should not be looked upon as complete until the tympanic membrane appears normal and hearing is fully restored. \n\nHearing loss may continue if the treatment is inadequate and if the infection comes through the Eustachian tube. Hence, the source of infection in the sinus and the nasopharynx must be treated fully. \n\nInfection \n\n\nMeasures aimed at primary prevention call for elimination of the causal agents, especially the viral and bacterial diseases known to cause hearing loss. Examples are typhoid, mumps, and measles. Hearing loss may also be secondary to chicken pox. \n\nTreatment for the infectious diseases must be sought and completed fully. Inadequate doses taken for an insufficien

Keep in contact with your doctor, sometimes the antibiotic they give you the first time doesn't work on the problem, and they have to try something else. If you trust your doctor and the problem still exists, and the condition continues to have your face swollen, like mumps, asked to be referred to an Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist.\n\nGood Luck

In most cases, there is no specific treatment for ear and head noise. If your otolaryngologist finds a specific cause of your tinnitus, he or she may be able to eliminate the noise. But, this determination may require extensive testing including X-rays, balance tests, and laboratory work. However, most causes cannot be identified. Occasionally, medicine may help the noise. The medications used are varied, and several may be tried to see if they help.\n\nThe following list of DOs and DON'Ts can help lessen the severity of tinnitus:\n\n    * Avoid exposure to loud sounds and noises.\n    * Get your blood pressure checked. If it is high, get your doctor's help to control it.\n    * Decrease your intake of salt. Salt impairs blood circulation.\n    * Avoid stimulants such as coffee, tea, cola, and tobacco.\n    * Exercise daily to improve your circulation.\n    * Get adequate rest and avoid fatigue.\n    * Stop worrying about the noise. Recognize your head noise as an annoyance and learn to ignore it as much as possible.

http://home.earthlink.net/~jodette/fluid.html\n\nSymptoms\nSerous otitis media is the medical term for "fluid in the middle ear." Its symptoms are primarily hearing loss-with pressure or pain-are frequently experienced by children and adults alike, and typically follow an upper respiratory infection.\n\nFindings\nGenerally, the problem is found to be a blockage of the Eustachian tube. This narrow canal connects the middle ear to the back of the nose and permits air to enter the middle ear cavity, allowing the hearing mechanism to function properly. An audiogram shows hearing loss due to fluid in the middle ear. A tympanogram shows less eardrum motion due to fluid.\n\nTreatment Of Adults\nMedical treatment is usually effective in adults. Antihistamines, decongestants, and steroids may be used to reduce swelling of the Eustachian tube. Myringotomy and allergy management are sometimes recommended.\n\nYou should see your Doctor right away for treatment, if you have not already.\n\n\n\nBelow is a link for the American Tinnitus Association which seems to be geared more towards a ringing in the ear:\n\nhttp://www.ata.org/\n\nGood luck!

I recommend going to an otolaryngologist (Ear, Nose and Throat doctor) for a hearing test and medical examination.  It is important to be as detailed as you possibly can with your symptoms, both at the time of onset and since.  Have you had any dizziness, or just feeling faint with hot flashes?  Are there any noises in your ear, or just that sounds are distorted?  Have the symptoms improved, worsened, or stayed stable since it started?\n\nWith sudden-onset symptoms, usually the sooner you start treatment, the better your chances for recovery.  Please don't delay any further.  Good Luck!
