For the last 3 weeks I've been experiencing a strange noise in my left ear lasting half a second AFTER I rub EITHER ear.
I'd describe it as crumpling paper or more accurately the sound of rubbing your hand gently across a foam microphone.
It seems to be getting better, I've been taking ear drops for the last 4 days (the pack says don't go beyond 4 days which is frustrating because I am starting to notice some sorry if improvement). So previously 9 times out of 10 rubbing my ear canal would produce the after effect. Now it's about 4 in 10 although I can't remember what normality sounds like.
I don't want to waste the doctors time with an appointment if this is nothing I should be worrying about, basically I want to know is this normal? It causes no pain, no discomfort, no reduction in hearing no balance issues just a new symptom.
Can you describe if you hear any sound after rubbing your ear canal with your finger? Is there any reaction in your left if you do it with your right? Or does nothing happen?
Sorry for the random request.
