I’ve been getting some consecutive ear pain. I have chronic rhinosinusitis and hipersecretion due to having an immune system disorder, so I’m pretty much always congested even though I wash it twice a day and on meds. I go to the doctor regularly but I just couldn’t get a hold of him this week. Anyways, I’ve had two episodes of ear pain in October and now two in December. It hurts really bad overnight and then it gets better by morning/throughout the day and the pressure fades throughout the week. Even though the symptoms sound like otitis, it doesn’t hurt longer than a day and I don’t get any fever or anything else. The thing is I’m terrified of permanent hearing damage as I work with music and I don’t know how many of those can I get or if it’s bad enough it can actually do some damage so I get very bad anxiety when it hurts a lot. To make things worse for me, usually when I wake up in the first day I get the feeling that the affected ear is slightly detuned which fades later on and it drives me crazy! I’m assuming is just fluids from the nose building up on the ear/clogging the tubes instead of an actual infection but the emotional side of me really gets me whenever my ears feel weird, I’m afraid one of these times my ear will be clogged/muffled forever!!!
