ringing in ears

I know this is maybe not the right place to ask this question, but you all have been so kind in the past - my husband was doing indoor sky diving, he had ear plugs and head phones one, but a week later he still has loud ringing in his ears. He went to a doctor but he could see no damage - any advice please

I don't know if indoor sky diving would affect ears. My husband has tinnitus, which seems to have been caused by exposure to loud noises. This NHS site may be of some help to you.

It could have something to do with the air pressure. A similar thing to when you go on an airplane and you have to swallow repeatedly as the plane ascends because of the change of air pressure. It may be a good idea to ask your GP for a referral to an ENT specialist (Ear, Nose and Throat) to see if there IS anything wrong. All the best
