Hello scubaboard community,
A month ago I went snorkeling, it was not really pleasant, although I didn't think I had any issue equalizing. I think I didn't very deep, probably 3, 4 meters maximum.
At the same day when I got in the hotel, I realized that i had developed this tinnitus in my right ear. Also felt my ear clogged, with some pressure and kind of heavy.
I didn't fell any pain and didn't come off any liquid.
Next day I did two dives and everything went well. But the tinnitus continued.
After one month I still listening the tinnitus, maybe it is a little bit better than the day after.
I Went in the ent doctor, he said that everything looks fine, no problem in the eardrum and gave me anti-inflammatory for 7 days.
Also did the audiometry, had some hearing loss 6kHz - 30db / 8kHz - 40db
I can hear my ear popping through out the day.
I would please like to ask the DDM @Duke Dive Medicine what could have happened and if Do you believe this tinnitus will be go away?
I would also like to ask if I Can practice sports normally like jogging, cycling and swimming in the pool?
Thank you so much for your help.
