Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
It appears from your description that you are experiencing tinnitus due to congestion in the ear and upper respiratory tract.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Do salt water gargling twice daily.
2. Take steam inhalation regularly.
3. Take decongestant medication containing chlorpheniramine maleate and phenylephrine, when necessary.
4. Practice Valsalva manuver regularly.
Gradually, the ringing sensation and feeling of heavyness or pain in the ear would subside.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best and wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.
