Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi DR. I have a problem with my ears both of them are having some kind of echoing it s like i am on the airplane and it s been a week now, though im having some sinus and phlegm issues. how can get rid of this uncomfortable feeling on my ears. thank you so much!
hi. Echoing in your ears can be disconcerting and uncomfortable. Some describe it like hearing in a barrel. The same sensation is created when you plug one or both of your ears and talk. If you experience ear echoing, there's a simple remedy. An echoing in your head when you speak is caused by a blockage in your ear canal or middle ear. Earwax buildup is the most-common cause of ear echoing. Other causes include an ear infection, sinus infection, fluid in your ear or an object stuck in your ear canal If you experience an echoing in your ears for more than three to four days, consult your physician. Earwax, ear infections and sinus infections all can be easily treated. When suffering from an infection, follow your physician's recommended course of treatment. If the echo remains after the infection is treated, contact your physician. thank you.
