Hello,

I have been having hearing issues ever since I had an ear infection a few weeks ago. My left ear has felt blocked, or stuffed, while my right ear recently started ringing. It has been very troublesome for me to hear my wife, when she is speaking to me. I am constantly asking her to repeat what she said, and she is getting frustrated. I saw my doctor, who pit me on an antibiotic, but that has been no help. I am scheduled to see an ENT next week to determine what is wrong. This jas become a very frustrating issue for me. Has anyone else experience this issue in the past? I am very skeptical about going into public, because I am afraid I will not hear what people say to me. The other day while getting dressed, I lost my balance, and fell down. It was very scary.

" Wow, I thought my having tinnitus was bad. You will probably have to get an mri and go from there. Sounds like you might have an infection. Drink lots of water and use a heating pad on your ears to try and open things up. Maybe lots of vitamin C also. Hope it gets better,

Pat "
