Good afternoon Dr Nagler, I hope you are well.
I am 66yrs old and about 5 yrs ago I thought I had a blocked ear where I could hear my voice in my head when I spoke. Through business commitments I did not get advise about it until months later, we lived in Austria then. I saw the GP there and he informed me I had Tinnitus. We unfortunately moved back to the UK before I saw the specialist. I have been to the local hospital here and the specialist gave me no explanation about it. I have searched relevant web sites but can never find any information on this type of tinnitus! My hearing came back good but due to hearing my own voice constantly - sometimes bad enough to stop speaking - I do miss a lot of what people say. I do hope you can enlighten me as to what has caused this. If the other ear went like it I couldn't cope.
Kind regards
Eileen
