Suggest Treatment For Tinnitus

Two days ago after a shower my ear clogged and started ringing it felt like there was pressure built and lost hearing like I have a ear plug in. I tried flushing with peroxide and ended up getting quite a bit of wax out. Today when I woke up my ear felt a little better so I tried flushing with peroxide again but it seemed to make it worse. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain it seems like there is fluid accumulation behind the ear drum and can also be water that got into the ear causing the following symptoms..
You should consult an ENT expert and get evaluated and he can do an Otoscopic examination and rule out the exact cause of the problem and treat
accordingly..
He can advise you to take decongestant nasal drops and oral intake..
You can also do Valsava Maneuvar in which you should pinch your nostrils and close your lips and try to blow air gently and the the ears can tend to open up under pressure..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
