View Full Version : massive ear ache
yesterday i woke up and had this awful ear ache and it felt like my ear was plugged. then the other ear started to feel that way, felt like i was in a tunnel, threw my equilibrium off, but i had summary adjudication due. well, today, it is worse, so i stayed home. if i move, i feel like i'm going to fall down.
any suggestions.

any suggestions.Go to a doctor. When I was in my 20's I had the same thing and had a wax buildup. I used Qtips but when they flushed my ears gobs of was came out in the pan... Go get it checked, horny men produce large quantities of ear wax.

Yeah, go to the doc, now. If it is a wax build up, they can fix you up real quick. If you ignore it, it could turn into an inner ear infection or something and you could lose your hearing, and you don't want that.
I think your other ear is probably compensating for the the hurt one, my ears get mucho wax buildup, and I always get that "tunnel hearing" that you're talking about. Hopefully that's all it is, because like Pale said, it's an easy fix.

Yeah, go to the doc. I'd say do er yer self cept...if your equilibrium is off it ain't just wax, that's inner-ear stuff.

Actually, I've had wax buildup bad enough to the point that it affected my equilibrium. I guess the was was actually pressing against the eardrum or something.

My wife just had the symptons you are describing. Turned out to be an ear infection. She actually had blisters on her ear drums! Go to the doctor.

But yer just a puss, Dan. Just kiddin..
Seriously, ear stuff is something every pilot is VERY aware of, and ear problem can end a career.
That's why I said..."it ain't just wax". Wax sure can affect the inner ear and equilibrium, when it does it's pretty damn severe. So, if it is the cause it should be dealt with by a doc. They have cool tools to dig that stuff out. :laugh2:

btw, i feel a slight draining in the left ear. spent time diving/snorkeling in my early twenties, and i did make a mistake of going to deep on snorkle and so had to ascend rapidly, freaked me out, but was almost deaf for 2 days in the left ear. never had a problem since, but this feels almost like it. the problem started in the left ear too. seriously, i feel like i went diving two days ago, ear plugs up, the other starts, then drain on the 3rd day.
its a weird feeling.

Heat will help with that drainage. If you have drainage it IS an infection.

what? it went away before. by drainage i mean, this weird feeling like something is loose, but not really, nothing coming out my ear, just checked, just like i feel this loosening. btw, i can twist my nose and pop that ear, then it goes back to dull.

Use an ear candle. It will draw all the wax out of your ear canal.

GO TO THE DOCTOR NOW.... :) (sorry to be so bossy)
DO NOT DRIVE YOURSELF!!!!!
This is what you have....so it seems, my mother in law had it and you described what happened to her Yurt.
Columbia Encyclopedia
Vertigo- vûr'tĭgō,
sensations of moving in space or of objects moving about a person and the resultant difficulty in maintaining equilibrium. True vertigo, as distinguished from faintness, lightheadedness, and other forms of dizziness, occurs as a result of a disturbance of some part of the body's balancing mechanism, located in the inner ear (e.g., vestibule, semicircular canals, auditory nerves). Labyrinthitis, or infection and irritation of the middle and inner ear, is a common cause of vertigo. Elimination of infectious, toxic, or environmental factors underlying the disturbance is essential for permanent relief.

You've been feeling this pain for two days, and complaining about it here for four hours now, everyone has replied that you should see a doctor for it immediately, and YOU STILL HAVEN'T GONE?
I guess you weren't serious. My apologies for being taken in.

i can still type. just dizzy a little getting up. i feel like the draining is actually aleviating the ache, tho a wee woosy.
please don't freak me out with doctors. my mother is an audiologist, if i really want a doctor, i could call her, but then she will call my wife and make her drive me to san diego to get me checked out.
hence my needed suggestions here. which, appear, that i may call my mommy. good lord.

It goes in and out....you won't always be dizzy...please do not drive, you do not know when it will happen.
My mother in law took 2 months for her to rid herself of it, with anti biotics and all....
it will get worse if you do not treat it....that is how it usually is with Ear infections, and honestly, you don't want to mess with them...they can be more painful than a wicked sore throat or tonsilitis....and they are all connected together, the ear infection can pass to all of the outher areas that connect to the sinuses I believe?
Are you running a fever Yurt? maybe it is just build up if your temperature hasn't risen but still....
Why don't you just call a doctor that works in your neighborhood and get in with him instead of going to the hospital....? He shou;ld be able to tell what it is....

Not to mention your ear drum could rupture and get and yes it could spread and become worse. Not to mention the fluid could drain to your lungs causing pneumonia.
thanks for the advice, i'll let you know tomorrow morning if i am ok. until then, i am NOT going to the doctor. last time i went i payed a copay just to tell him what anti biotic to give me. seriously, he was, ummm, stuff, i said i need this because of this... ok.
trust me, i know if i need a doctor. i was hoping for home remedies.

Well, you don't need your hearing to type and read on a computer, so I guess it's no big deal after all.
You didn't have any other life where it might still be needed, did you?

I can only reiterate what the others have said already, get to a doctor for some antibiotics before the pain worsens!
Right before I left Georgia last year I developed an earache. I was popping aspirin like candy and taking "Goody's" (powdered pain reliever) in my iced tea every hour or so. Then I drove for about 14hrs straight and felt like my brains were trying to squeeze out through my ear (like when I read TM's posts).
I tried ointment, pain relievers, candle waxing and every drop known to man. I finally saw the doctor a day after getting back to Mom's in NJ and they gave me some antibiotic pills. I was nearly deaf in that ear by now and there was a constant humming sound. It took 2 days for the pain to subside and about 2 weeks before it was back to normal!
Get to the damn doctor!!
