Question 3

my left ear has been "popping" for a couple weeks now. doesn't hurt or anything but it's annoying. water noise always triggers the popping! ?

Accepted Answer

Eustachian tube: Sometimes the eustachian tube between the back of the nose and the middle ear is not opening and draining the way it should.  Drinking more water can help thin secretions and improve the popping.

the last couple of months i am having equalizing/pressure problems in my ears during the day .  in the past i only had this problem when i was flying or under water - but this has now changed - there is no specific cause that i know that triggers it.

Accepted Answer

These are not normal: findings and could represent significant issues with your inner ears or your sinuses. To avoid long term hearing problems you should get this checked out by a health care provider. Make an appointment today.

Headaches: Second opinions can be very helpful.  Consider seeing another doctor.  Also, look into headache clinics at your local hospital.  Peace and good health.

Question 6

heartbeat type noise deep in right ear.lasts for about 24-36 hours & seems triggered by big yawn or hiccup. goes away & comes again 3 days later. ?

Commonly this: symptom is caused by WAX build up in the ear. Ask your health care professional to clean your ears or use a self treatment OTC product for this.

Question 7

periodic short stabbing type pain in back of head on left side ear level down to neck.  lasts maybe 5 seconds or less.  no previous injury.  area feels sore now.  nothing seems to trigger it - just spontaneously happens.  ?

Accepted Answer

...Eruption..watch: Sounds like one is about to break out in Herpes III ( Shingles) eruption in that area. Watch for a few days to see if the rashes do break out ; else have MD take a look at the left side of the ear if Symptoms persist.

Question 8

compressions/spasm happening in/near inner ear.  continues all night long. i can also trigger w/ movements.  ent thinks muscular but bit of mystery ?

Accepted Answer

Doubt inner ear: Many patients confuse the inner and middle ear.  The inner ear is a fluid filled organ surrounded by bone.  As such it is an unlikely source of compressions/spasm.  I would tend to agree with your ENT doc, that muscle spasm of the middle ear is what is occurring.
There are two muscles in the middle ear and they are not under conscious control and can go into spasm and cause your symptoms.

Question 9

i have menieres disease.had mri earlier this week which triggered vertigo.is there meds that can be prescribed 4spinning crackling in ear nausea?

Accepted Answer

Meclizine: We often prescribe meclizine for vertigo. It can help with the spinning and nausea.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Could be sensitive: To temper changes, going from cold outdoors to hot indoors, and you're flushing on your ears, nose. If that's not part of the history, it's difficult to say since you aren't taking any supplements, as Niacin could potentially cause it too.
