Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / October 2006tinnitus with pain in the ear
Hi All, I have T in my left ear since 2003. Several times I can feel a kind of pressure on the timpan of the same ear, which produces a little pain. What does it mean? Could this fact help me to find out the cause of my tinnitus? Thanks a lot in advance, emiliano > Hi All, > > I have T in my left ear since 2003.

Emiliano, I think it means you should see a doctor, an ENT and have a tympanogram if you haven't already had one. Susan See a doctor about it. It may be just wax on the eardrum. > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Thanks a lot in advance, > emiliano > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Thanks a lot in advance, > emiliano Emiliano, I have a similar situation: tinnitus and earache. My doc. just checked things and said there was a lot of fluid behind the eardrum, so get your doc. to check things out. Has anyone else had this problem, of fluid build up? I don't think treatment for this is going to help with the tinnitus from my meagre research. Anyone? Diana Thanks a lot, Diana, for your reply. Did your doctor say how to remove that fluid? which are the things to check in order to diagnose that? Did your doctor say somthing about hydrope or something of similar? Fluids in the eardrum are the base of meniere syndrome... Thanks a lot again. Emiliano Cavaliers ha escrito: > > Hi All, > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > tinnitus from my meagre research.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Thanks a lot again. > Emiliano Hi Emiliano, Doc. gave me a Rx for Nasonex (brand name) which is mometasone furoate monohydrate (it says on the box) - I haven't even researched this yet but tried it a couple of times already. It's a corticosteroid ;o( He said it would take about a week for this to 'drain' ?? through the eustacion tube ?? ... but am not to keen on steroids in any form as there is a risk of glaucoma (I have Graves' Eye Disease). He examined each ear and could see lots of 'bubbles' and fluid. I suppose if it doesn't clear up then may be further investigation. Anyway nothing mentioned about "hydrope", he referred to the problem at "effusion" which is: "...Following an acute infection, fluid (an effusion) may remain behind the ear drum (tympanic membrane) for up to 3 months before resolving. Chronic otitis media may develop after a prolonged period of time with fluid (effusion) or negative pressure..." I found that here: http://www.medicinenet.com/otitis_media/article.htm Doc. did not mention Meniere syndrome either, but then didn't even mention otisis media. Will see how things go. Thanks for information and having just had a quick look don't like the sound of *it*. I don't feel any pressure unless I go to a higher elevation. Hope you find solutions to your tinnitus and pressure. Diana On 10/1/06 3:14 AM, in article 1159697662.250326.211970@h48g2000cwc.googlegroups.com, > Thanks a lot, Diana, for your reply.

Fluids in the eardrum are the base of > meniere syndrome Actually fluid in the middle ear behind the ear drum has nothing to do with Meniere's Syndrome. It can cause tinnitus and does cause a 20% or more reduction of hearing. One therapy is to drain the fluid and place a tube in the ear drum to aerate the middle ear. In nearly 100% of these cases, hearing and tinnitus are relieved.

How to understand if really I have fluid in the ear? thanks, emiliano On 10/2/06 3:10 AM, in article 1159783859.120367.319580@i42g2000cwa.googlegroups.com, > Thanks, but how to diagnose that?

EAR PAIN Many people complain about ear pain, even when there is no medical reason for the pain. That simply means the doctor can't find a reason, it does not mean there isn't a reason. Unexplained ear pain is not mentioned in a medical textbook. I have had ear pain and also itchy ears. The itch feels as if it is between the throat and the ear and you can't reach it to scratch it. My personal experience has led me to the conclusion that it is due to tension in the neck/shoulder muscles. If we can undo some of the tension then the pain will ease. If your pain has been of long standing it may take a little time. My personal method is to clasp my hands behind my back, pull my shoulders down, while stretching the top of the head (not the chin) to the ceiling. Hold for 10 seconds. Repeat 5 times. Try and train yourself to sleep flat on your back - sleeping on your side keeps the neck muscle in a cramped position.

That's because three sets of nerves go to the area so the pain is multiplied x 3. If the ears itch, there probably is a bare skin area that hurts.
