desperate for help

[nikko400]

l am sick of going to the docs with my ringing and constantly feeling blocked ear, l have seen 3 different docs and 1 ENT all of which say my ears look fine, they are not fine and at the moment my head is throbbing, my left ear ringing and feeling very pressurised, l feel very down and depressed and worried as in 5 weeks l'm off to europe :( This is supposed to be the holiday of a lifetime with my fanily and all l can think of is what is going to happen with my ears, can anybody help me? l nasal irrigate once a day and use nasonex spray once a day as well, can't stand it right now so have taken an antihistamine which has not done anything!!!! l am allergic to oral cortisone and sudafed makes me really jumpy inside my body' l am also very allergic to raw carrots, celery and kiwi fruit.....

God seems to have troubled you with quite a few to handle.Sorry for that.But what falls prominently in my eye,is that you have blocked sinuses which should be treated medically or surgically (using a technique called FESS).Your fluid in the ear (though I don't understand how can the pressure be normal if there was fluid in the ear.. doesn't happen that way) would require a myringotomy and grommet insertion to relieve the symptoms if they are not responding to medications.Both of these should help you to get the symptoms under control and you should undergo MRI brain to rule out any space occupying lesions in the internal auditory canal.You can always use tinnitus maskers if available.Tinnitus or ringing ears are a troublesome problem and have little concrete solution to be very frank.

Oh where do l start, l have been to audiologist and ear pressure was fine, had ct scan of sinuses all of which are very blocked, been to ent specialist who said l have small polyps but thinks my problem is my jaw, went to dentist who did opg and said jaw and teeth are fine, l do suffer with strange food allergies to raw carrots, celery and kiwi fruit l also get asthma which has got worse as l've got older and l do suffer with candida  at times, am thinking maybe this is part of the problem, l also have fluid behind my left ear drum......
l was out in the cold air today and am having bad symtoms tonight :( have put a warm wheat bag behind my neck which has helped with the head pain a little and took an antihistamine which has done nothing .........:(

First things first , get an audiometry (to test hearing) and tympanometry (to know the ear pressure) done.Your symptoms and write up suggest that you have nasal allergy which could lead to sinusitis and secondary to it blocked eustachian tubes which could cause the problems that you complain off.Let me be the first to wish you "happy holidays" on this forum and hope we can get those ears "ring" a happy note instead!
