Brief Answer:
Yes, high frequency noise or tinnitus can be due to impacted wax.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thank you for posting your query.
I have gone through the post. I can understand your concern.
First coming to the blood clot in ear drum.
Did you have any head injury prior to it?
About the occasional high frequency noise in the right ear, or tinnitus - yes it may be caused by the impacted wax.
There can be other causes like fluid in middle ear, otitis media( infection of middle ear) , but in your case it is probably due to the wax.
Now, this tinnitus is a symptom only. It is not a disease.
I would suggest you to
- Not to worry. Within a few days you wont feel it.
- Try relaxation techniques.
- Since this noise will be more annoying at bedtime, you can use a fan loudly or a clicking clock. They will help.
- Keep in touch with your doctor. He/she can examine you and correlate clinically.
Hope this helps.
Post any other question.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Not to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Soliwax will only help to dissolve the wax. It will soften the wax and then it will be removed by syringing. If it is impacted hard on the ear drum(tympanic membrane) , it may require removal by microscope.
You see , tinnitus is a symptom only. It is not a disease.
I would suggest you to
- Not to worry.
- Try relaxation techniques.
- Since this noise will be more annoying at bedtime, you can use a fan loudly or a clicking clock. They will help to mask tinnitus.
