It's all because of ear wax

Just clean it once in 60 days by an ENT specialist

Wondering if massage, gently around the ears using fingertips might help? I can only relate this to my experience, which may not be yours at all. My ears felt puffed inside (and were painful all round) until I gave up all gluten, now they are fine. If you get no joy from your GP, consider a cranial osteopath, who, again, in my experience, can work miracles. (Currently seeing one to see if she can help me with some aspects of my possibly ataxia related problems- we try all sorts, don't we?)

I would be interested to hear your experience with cranial osteopathy.

Will do, I think she may have helped with headache, she knew I'd had a bump to the head 5 years ago. I'll report back if it helps me with what I think is the Ataxia. I used to visit another one, who is too far away now, when I thought I just had BPPV and would weave in and then walk out in a straight line. I could drive in those days. He also 'fixed' my intense dislike/pain when seeing bright lights or headlights after 1 visit, another cranial osteo did the same for my daughter so pretty astonishing stuff can be done, but not miracles! ( I am also a tooth grinder, which messes up tensions the head!)

My ears often play me up but I use drops from Boots. They are great because I cause them myself but they have peroxide in so they fuzz in your head. When I need them, I use too often and far too much - not very scientific lol and I am impatient!!

They are in a blue box and called ‘Boots Dual Action Ear Wax Remover’ x
