Question: I am really stressing. I have been having a lot of cracking in my ears for a long time in my ears, and about 3 and half months ago, both of my ears felt clogged up. And I tried the ear wax drops with the water and it seemed to no avail and at least for a while. I still had a clogged left ear. So my wife suggested hydrogen peroxide because the doctor used it in my wife's ears to remove the wax, but I did not know it was diluted. Well I used it undiluted only once like a drop 3%. Left it for a few minutes until the ears were cracking like maybe it was lossening the wax. Then I rinsed it out, and it still felt clogged like I am still in a wind tunnel. I went to urgent care and the doctor said I just probably irritated the tissue. But I still have what feels like a clogged ear. The cracking is in both ears and it feels like I can manipulate my ear tubes. My left ear has ringing in it, the ent said the ringing is from tmj, and I've looked up if tmj can cause clogged ears. I also feel like I lost hearing in my left ear. I didn't think the hydrogen peroxide. But reading some of these mixed answers. I am getting really stressed thinking now I damaged my ears just doing it once. I am really getting bummed, and I am really mad at myself, why did you do that, if I just would have just left it alone. Please I need help please call for more detail. 760 533-8068. It also feels like something is blocking my left ear. I it also sounds like everything vibrates in my ear. Sometimes I can hear my self talking in my head mostly from my left side it is the worst. I only used the peroxide in one ear. I know there is a lot of info I am giving, but I feel the more symptoms I give the better you can answer. I feel like when I kind of hiccup my left ear sounds like a little pop almost like when water comes out of your ears. I have an open bite, and I have a little deviated septum and my torrits in my nose are what the doctors says may be swollen so I am taking Rhinocort. I have cracking in my ears when I barely move my jaw. And I can manipulate what I think is my seta ion tubes from felling clogged to worse. But what I am most scared of is I hope that I did not damage my ear drum by doing that one stupid thing. Please call if you have any additional question. I think that my ears were clogged up last year around this time, but I did not use any peroxide.
My hearing has for the most part been pretty even. I think I kind off self tested how my hearing was maybe awhile ago and there was a slight maybe difference, but barely noticeable. I do not listen to loud music, and when I go see movies at the theater I wear ear plugs. I look forward to hearing your response. I have been highly stressed.. Thx XXXXXXX
