What Causes Thumping Noise In Ears?
Hi, I have had off and on thumping noise in my right ear for 2 weeks now. I did get a sinus infection last week and am currently on antibiotics, however, the thumping noise is still there. My ear has been checked twice in the last 2 weeks by 2 different physicians and neither of them seem to have an answer - they keep saying it s probably allergies?!?! It s almost like a twitching sound...

Hi,
You are having tinnitus problem in one ear. The middle ear infection or fluid accumulation can be the cause. You have history of sinus infection. So ear infection could be possible. I suggest you consult otorhinolaryngologist for Otoscopy ear examination by otorhinolaryngologist. According to cause specific treatment given.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
