Question 1

Accepted Answer

Yes: It depends on what you mean by "weird." you can hear popping, ringing, buzzing, etc. To be safe, get it checked.

Question 2

is it normal to hear like a ring sound in ear when having an ear infection?

Accepted Answer

Can Happen: The infection can cause the nerves endings to react with this sensation.

Question 3

Yes: Ear infections have some type of abnormal fluid in the ear. This may move as you do, cause the swoosh.

Question 4

having wooshing? sound in ear like i can hear my heart beat for about a year.dr keeps saying ear infection but not going away&ha some bad can't do muc

Accepted Answer

Sinusitis : I think you have chronic sinusitis and sinus congestion -- you may want to see ear nose and throat ENT specialist for proper evaluation.

Question 5

im currently waiting to be referred to ent.i am having recurrent ear infections& can hear/feel fluid in ears that whooshes when i bend over/shake head/yawn/swallow.as far as i can tell i have no hearing loss.does this sound like glue ear?

Accepted Answer

Ear exam: This symptom is also seen with ear wax accumulating in the ear canal and may be touching the ear drum. A n ear drum infection is usually accompanied by an ear ache. Your PCP can diagnose either of these conditions. For fluid in the middle ear, an ENT is preferred,however.

Question 6

had or have ear infection(17 days feels better)now when i swallow i hear a cracklings sound coming from my ear, no pain...

Accepted Answer

Very good sign!: After an ear infection, when the ear starts crackling that means that the fluid left over from the infection inside the middle ear is slowly draining out on its own with air slowly refilling the middle ear space.  This may be a very long process, over several weeks - but the more crackling the better!  over time the ear and hearing should return to normal.

Question 7

my doctor said i don't have an ear infection, but he prescribed to me sudogest, cetirizine, and flucticasone. do these help the wave sound that i hear?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: These meds are for sinus or nasal congestion, not for tinnitus which is what I believe you are describing.  No medication specifically helps tinnitus.  Your doc may be hoping that by clearing up any congestion you might get relief from what is most often an inner ear condition.  These usually clear up spontaneously especially at your young age.

Question 8

it's 2 weeks since my l middle ear infection, i can pop my ears and hear much better but when i swalow i hear quite a prominent popping/clicking sound? is this the fluid still there or something else? i hear it when i do the valsavar maneuver as well

Accepted Answer

Eustachian tube: dysfunction is what you have, saline nasal washes can help, if problem persists, you need to see an ENT specialist, best wishes

Question 9

ringing in one ear not very loud. occasionally hearing a gurgling quivering sound similar to water in the ear but not muffled like with water. no hearing loss. no pain, no fever. i did have ear infections alot when i was younger maybe infection?

Accepted Answer

: You need to have an ear exam first for a correct differential diagnosis.

Question 10

do i have an ear infection? i have lost my hearing, my ear is very painful, when i blow my nose there is a crackling sound in my ear an its very sore

Accepted Answer

Yes: And sounds like middle ear infection --- which means--- ear drops will not work. Antibiotics by mouth are needed.
