What Causes Popping Sensation In The Ear Along With Dizziness?

Posted on Thu, 13 Oct 2016

Question: I had a female worker around age 32 who had felt pain in her ear and a loud pop as if someone dropped something and it made a real loud noise. She then felt dizzy and immediately got hot. I used an ice pack after having her sit down. Not sure

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX Welcome to HCM,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern for your worker..

All these symptoms indicate immediate clinical check-up and an Inner Ear examination under direct vision by ENT specialist (to rule any damage to tympanic membrane in the first place)..

Please take her to your nearest ER for a prompt check-up and monitoring of her vital parameters, where they'll be investigating for the inner Ear also..management will be done accordingly..

Please remain her seated in the meanwhile, of course no work till declared physically fit, don't let anything to put inside the ear till properly examined..

Let me know how she stays in the due course..any further queries are most welcome..

Take Care
Kind Regards
