Dr. James Rochester answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Ear pain: Certainly not normal. I assume normal test was hearing test. Many other issues can cause ear pain. If no better or worse in next 5-10 days, please see ear, nose, throat specialist. Good luck.

Thank you. Ive had chronic base-like vibrating sound in my ears for 9 years. It vibrates very quick and I can feel it too. ENT did hearing test on me and I passed with no issues. Ears sensitive to loud sound. Any cure?
