Sound In Ear While Chewing. Avoiding OTC Decongestants Because Of Side Effects. Taken Kenelog Shot. Cure?
When I chew, I hear a sound in my right ear like a tight rubber band being strummed. It is allergy season and I am a long time sufferer. I try not to take OTC decongestants because I don t like the side effects. I ve recently had a Kenelog shot (yesterday). My ear is not in any pain, just the noise and subsequent sensation that something is in it.
