I've been having problems with ear infections (otitis externa) for 3 months now, my left ear carried on with it for about 2 months and my right ear at the moment still has it. But ever since it all started its bought tinnitus along with it, the doctors keep saying it'l go eventually but im just soo scared It wont. Its driving me actually insane. I cant seem to just block it out and immediately think i've got something ridiculous like a tumour or something really bad. I made the mistake of googling when it all started
Last time I was at the doctors she said my left ear had cleared up, but I still have the tinnitus! I'm only 18, and they've said I'd have to be really unlucky to have it forever, especially seen as its only been from infections and nothing noise induced and its unlikely i've got any inner ear damage! Also when i'm yawning or swallowing I get this like clicking snapping noise in my ears, I dont no if i'm congested of something but i've been feeling quite run down.
I'm just so convinced its never going to go, its been ringing in 1 ear nearly 3 months now Im fed up of obsessing over it!
