Hi all,
I am experiencing a very strange symptom with my tinnitus. I've scoured the Internet far and wide and have been unable to find another case like mine. Visited three ENTs and they're all baffled although the last one, who is a renowned ear surgeon, said given my symptoms this is likely anxiety and stress triggering a spike.
Long story short, in the days post-microsuction my right ear, which had tinnitus before, developed a louder ringing. The kicker is this: this louder ringing only happens AFTER I sleep on my right side. I'm not talking about the sound being amplified when the ear is pressed on the pillow, but an increase in volume after I've been sleeping on that ear and then wake up and change positions or lift my head. The louder ringing will last for about an hour or so after I wake up.
Has anyone encountered something like this, or have any theories about what is happening?
