Today when coming back from work, I took my noise cancelling headphones off and suddenly it felt like my left ears was blocked, there was a faint ringing but when I would speak there was a strange frequency sound; after a hot shower the ringing became much louder and my left ear more sensitive; with the frequency “warble” becoming a lot louder Aswell.

Kinda freaking out at the moment and was wondering if anyone’s experienced this? Possible causes would be a light cold im coming down from and a few days ago I was at an exceptionally loud gig

Sounds like the same experience as me, panic attack and all; glad to hear it reset quickly, really unnerving

Your symptoms sound super similar to mine, trying to see a doctor today :)

Are you based in the UK or US?

How did they resolve it?

I usually wear ear protection at gigs but at this specific one I had forgotten them and couldn’t really move, unfortunate but hopefully it’s not an issue as only happened the once

Thanks mate, will take a trip to the GP tomorrow just to be safe! Hearing seems perfectly fine on both sides for the time being just the ringing and weird frequency stuff when speaking, I often get my ears checked out so try to stay on top of these things

I had my ears checked a month or two ago and there was 0 wax build up, can it come on this quickly?

Thanks man that’s made me abit more hopeful, that’s great advice :)

Will do, came on really suddenly; it doesn’t feel as blocked as it did earlier in the day but the ringing became more prevalent; the left nostril is also blocked, I wonder if that’s related?
