He didn't use that device for wax. he used the forcep-type instrument to
remove wax that was on the eardrum but in so doing, he scratched the ear
canal and there was blood. What happened was this:

He finished taking out the wax from the eardrum and went to his chair. I
told him that I felt something in my ear and he said something about it
being blood. He looked inside and then took over a device that must have
been hooked up to a machine that made a low frequency sound and put
something in my ear that was to vacuum out the blood. It was maybe about
10-15 seconds and he took the device out and I told him it was very noisy.
The noise was high-pitched and extremely noisy. He said that was his
"smaller" one. And then, even after I said it was extremely noisy, put it
back in my ear for another 10-15 seconds.

I have been going to this ENT for a number of years and he knows I have
severe tinnitus (bilateral). The tinnitus in that ear and it seems also in
the other ear has increased. At this point I am under extreme stress and
very angry. How could someone who knows of my severe tinnitus use such a
loud device in my ear is beyond my comprehension. Perhaps the cut he made
in my ear was so deep that he wanted to suck out the blood to prevent it
from pooling on my ear drum. I want to ask him about that. But nothing will
change the fact and all I can do is hope that the increase in tinntus
improves.

I've never heard of taking advil and drinking lots of water could be
helpful. I do drink over 24 ounces of water every day and two cups of green
tea. Can you elaborate on the benefit of advil and any other suggestions?

Thank you!
