Sounds and pain inside my ear

by laika214, Jun 07, 2006 12:00AM
Last night I started hearing sounds like paper crumpling inside my ear channal when I put my ear plug in to my right ear. I heard the same thing when I dried my ear with a towel this morning. Last night I also could not keep the ear plug in because when I laid my head down on the pillow on that side the increased pressure caused a lot of pain. I took the plug out.



I normally sleep with ear plugs to block noise that keeps me from sleeping. I also have allergies but lately they've been very light, not causing enough congestion to keep me from using my CPAP most nights. That's the other thing I use. Are these things: CPAPs and ear plugs not OK to use together? I've been using ear plugs every night for the last five years and the CPAP therapy just started this March.



I can hear just fine, by the way. It's not like I have any hearing problems now since my ear's been making those sounds when moving the ear channal. I'm wondering if I should be worried anyway -- if something is wrong. Thank you.
