Ringing In Ear. Dizziness On Moving Head. Remedy?
Ringing in the ear is not very loud but always there and I think is slightly louder after I listen to something . I get kind of dizzy if I move my head and I feel like I am on a boat. It is worse during the evenings and night. Better during morning.
I feel that my head position is doing something. I am not able to explain what it is. It's not room spinning. It's something that makes me feel bad. Makes me feel a little sick in the stomach not even full
I do have slight fullness in both ears . Right worse than left. But I am able
To make my ears pop. So it's not entirely full. But even if I pop it gets back to the original state

Hi,
There are many causes for tinnitus for example wax accumulation in the ear, foreign body stuck in the ear, listening to really loud music, a side effect of medication or a symptom of other diseases.
But in your case since you are dizzy as well it means that there is something else wrong with your ear as well.
As such I would recommend that you see an ENT specialist, he will be able to evaluate your condition properly and find the cause of your problems.
I hope this helped you.
