What Causes Persistent Ringing In My Ear?

For my whole life, I have dealt with a lot of wax buildup in my ears. Well, for too long, my left ear has been so badly clogged up with wax that I ve noticed a definite change in hearing; and within the last three works a so, a persistent ringing has been occurring in said ear. Therefore, is this something that should be checked by a regular doctor first or should I just go ahead and see a specialist?

it is due to impacted wax that is causing hearing problem and tinnitus(ringing in the ear).your ear canal must be narrow and the wax that is produced by ceruminous glands is not able to come out. you start with otorex ear drops 4-5 drops 5 to 6 times per day for 7 days.keep the ear up for five minutes after instilling drops. the wax will soften and you can remove it self by ear bud or you can go to ear specialist to get it cleaned. don't worry nothing to worry much.but get it cleaned before it starts having pressure symptoms like dizziness.
