Hi, I've had tinnitus in my left ear for a long time. Sometimes it'll be worse than others. I'm a bit pathetic as I haven't been to a doctor
yet >.> Anyway, sometimes both ears will be really itchy. Sometimes water will get stuck in my left ear and take ages for it go go out. But lately
it's gradually been getting worse. Somedays it'll seem like I have 40% of my hearing in my left ear and others 80%.
Now the TMJ aspect. I've had this for at least 2 years where the jaw will sometimes pop. I'm wondering if it's related or not.
Also with the left ear, sometimes when I can't hear that well out of it and I pull on the skin next to it (like on the cheek), it opens up... but then gradually closes back.
So I'm worried if it's some kind of infection that's more prominent in my left ear but will spread to the right (because of the itchiness) or if TMJ is playing a role.
Thanks
