Hello,
Well ive been diving for about 5 or 6 months, My ears have been ringing for about 2 years now probally from playing drums in bar bands every week, I normally dont hear it throughout the day because the sourounding sound is usually greater, but if i walk into a quiet room or area, or if im driving then I get to my destination and stop then I can hear it again. When I get out of the shower at night time it seems to be greater and (almost) unbearable when I lay down to goto sleep, but ive been able to deal with it most of the time.
Okay, sorry for the long post,
when I started diving, I would surface and BAM that ringing noise was louder again, just like when I come out of the shower or lay down to goto sleep. Ive heard that ringing after diving is bad, but I cant tell if this is normal for me or not.
About a month ago I moved to a new province (PEI) and I havent played drums or with a band since then except for a few weeks ago, the ringing never let up and I didnet expect it to, But I went diving the other week and when I came back my right ear seems to feel swolen (spelling?) and seems to feel like its still pressureized.
Anyway, thats the background, so really I guess my questions are , Since my right ear seems to ring more is this from diving? Ive always had alittle bit of equalizing troubles but that weekend of diving went fine.
Will the ringing get worse as I dive more often?
Last I heard, theres no known treatment to stop the ringing, is this true?
Thank you so much for your time anyone,
