That ringing sound in my ear
Two nights ago, right before I went to bed, I noticed something weird about myself. My left ear felt as if there was a "bubble" of air trapped inside, like the type most people experience when they're onboard an airplane. After numerous attempts at trying to get rid of it by swallowing empty air and water, I gave up and went to sleep. The next morning I woke up a bit disoriented because the "bubble" didn't disappear overnight as I had hoped.
I went about my day as usual, hoping that it would disappear over the course of the day - and it did. Problem was, my left ear had started ringing instead. That made alarm bells ring in my head (pardon the lame attempt at a joke).
Then this morning when I woke up to my left ear still ringing, I dashed myself off to the doctor.
Diagnosis?
Tinnitus. Fuck.
"Hmmm, could be nasal congestion. Was your nose blocked lately?" my doctor asks while prodding my nose.
"Uhhhh, no?" Right after I shot that out of my mouth I realize that I suffer from sinus problems, so yeah, maybe I did? Whoops.
"You should be alright," she finally says. "Young people usually recover from it. But if you don't get better after a week, come back to me, I'll need to refer you to an ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) specialist."
Eep. Let's hope that it's not that serious.
