 Posted: 05/19/06 - 22:16 Post subject: My ear feels like it's clogged..after eardrum burst |
  |
|
A few years ago, I was hit in my ear and my eardrum burst. Ever since then, I feel like I have cotton in my ear. I went to an ENT and he put a tube in. He said my hearing was normal. The tube did not help at all.
My ear will "open up" and feel normal for maybe 10 seconds at a time. Is there anyone who knows what this couyld be? It's making my life miserable.
If I put my finger in my ear and stretch the opening a bit, it opens up and feels fine...but it will close very soon afterwards.
PLEASE HELP! |

| This is something you have to get used to living with. Once you damage your ear, your hearing ability could be lost, more or less, and even completely. Hearing loss could be accompanied by other problems, such as ringing in the ear or tinnitus, have you ever felt some of these? What has your ENT said, can this condition be corrected or not? Conductive hearing loss could be restored up to a point, traumatically damaged ear drums can be repaired with a tiny skin graft. Conductive hearing loss can be treated with alternative therapies that are specific to the particular condition. Sensory hearing loss may be helped by homeopathic therapies. If you have a perforated eardrum, avoid getting water in your ear because it could be harmful. Bath with a shower cap over your ear and don't swim, especially underwater, until it's healed. I don’t exactly know what this “opening of your ear” could mean, but there is always someone specialized to talk to about this, but what I think is once you heart your ear you have to be careful with it all the time. You must protect your ear from getting infected, and also you should try to avoid the loud noise. |

| I too have the clogged feeling. My ear drum burst only a week ago, but I have seen no improvement. The ringing gets old quick! I find it dificult to identify where sound is originating. I was seen at Carenow and they offered me no info on time/symptoms during healing. |
