I have a problem that I think
was caused by the doctor who examined me with an otoscope. He
exherted a considerable lateral force on the walls of the ear
canal in a full 360 degrees circular motion (in both ears)
causing pain that lasted for a couple of hours. Then about a
month later I get pains and HR modulated swooshing sounds which
are positional as if there is a fluid sloshing about inside (the
swooshing is gone now) and now I am left with intermittant high
tone tinnitus which is more on than off it's almost 24hours a
day. Also the side mostly affected hurts a bit and feels slightly
warm when the tinnitus is loudest. Not only that but a month or
two after the "ear eax exam" that started all this I started
getting a funny sound in my left ear as if there was a small ball
of tin foil stuck in there which kept rustleling loudly on the
slightest movement. That would often be associated with pain in
the ear. After a couple of weeks of that it would gradually ebb
away and then if I rubbed my ear say on the pillow in bed it
would make a cracking sound as if an injury was being "opened
up". There would be pain and the tinnitus would slowly build up
again. So far the quacks have said it is imaginary. What do you
think?

Thanks for your consideration.
