Question 1

i feel like there is something in my ear what can it be?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: I have pulled parts of dead bugs, beads, rocks, wax,etc. out of the middle ear.I take it with your age you don't put stuff in your ear,but to really know what is there someone needs to look.

Question 2

i feel i m not able to hear  100% clearly....feel that there is something in my left ear ...also i m not able to clean enamel 100% from my ear ...

Accepted Answer

Get ear check: It is tough to try yourself, best to get in to see a dr. For an evaluation of your ear and get it professionally cleaned, as you should never put anything into your ear as there is the possibility of damaging your ear drum, etc.

Question 3

i feel like there is something in my left ear. it hurts more when stressed. what is causing this?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It would require more information to properly answer you. But, if this is a new problem, you should have your ear checked to make sure there is nothing in there. Such as ear wax. Another reason could be that you have fluid that has built up behind your ear drum because your eustachian tubes are congested. Or, you could even have TMJ causing a full feeling in your ear.

Question 4

when i burp having hiccup it feels like is there something is shaking in my ear.doctor give me treatment of estachian tube dysfunction i take this treatment from 3 months but there is no relief is there middle ear muscles contraction in my ear??

Accepted Answer

: A "hiccup" is similar to a minor valsalva maneuver, and diaphragmatic contractions can transiently increase/decrease pressure in the canal leading to the tympanic membrane, producing the described sensation.  "Ear wax" can accentuate this sensation by blocking the vibratory capacity of the tympanic membrane ("ear drum").  See an ENT physician for an exam .

Question 5

what to do if i popped something in my ear?

Accepted Answer

Pop in ear: Depends on what happened next. Drainage, hearing loss, dizziness, fullness. best to see ENT if recurring or persistent symptoms.

Question 6

could pain in my tooth be due to something in my ear?

Accepted Answer

No: This is referred pain.  If you truly have pain of dental origin, then the pain you are experiencing in your ear is being referred to the ear.  Both the anterior (front) ear canal and the teeth are both innervated by branches of the same cranial nerve.  ( the fifth cranial nerve called the trigeminal nerve).

Question 7

something in my ear doctors cannot see anything visually, bubbles vigorously every time i put peroxide in my ear,been two weeks?

Accepted Answer

Bubbles everywhere: So, bubbles from hydrogen peroxide are a normal occurrence, even in the ear canal.  All this really means is that you likely have some bacteria in the ear, but this is also normal - that is what the cerumen (ear wax) is there for is to capture bacteria and get rid of it.  If you aren't having any pain, and nothing is visible in the ear canal, likely nothing is wrong.  Good luck to you!

Question 8

i have stuffed ears. i feel something in my ear that moves around when i tilt it up and the stuffiness goes away but it comes back when head is uprigh?

Accepted Answer

? Ear wax: It may be something as simple as ear wax. You may try putting small amount of oil in your ears to soften the wax and it may come out on its own. Do not use Q tips, that would only push the wax deeper into the ear. There are over the counter treatments for ear wax and you may try those.
If that does not work, see your doctor.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
