Thank you for the advice. Probably lost in the thousands of comments on here but I saw ent Feb.2019 before this became so bad.. esp. pain/tinnitus/bit more hearing loss as had him years before to remove half thyroid. He checked up in sinus, at the time, and all OK. Fast forward to my familydoctor moving out of town, getting the ear pain and everything starting after bad sore throat and many meds; and now phone an online clinic. They thought ear infection pain but wasnt. Anyway, we have 2 ENTs where we live.. so Clinic contacted both Spring 2020 and I had a year wait for the one I had seen and a 2 year wait for other.
So after a year #1 2 months ago ent #1 phoned and gave me heck for 20 minutes - husband heard, about his problems during covid etc. etc. I couldnt believe it; after a week or so I wrote a very polite note saying I hope I hadnt upset him with anything I had said (had told him had 2 ocular migraines that morning and I think he thought I was diverting from ear issues??)..anyway ten days or so later he phoned again, spoke to my husband, said putting ear tubes in punctures eardrums fifty percent of the time, then spoke to me, thanked me for my letter and said I had taught him a lesson?? then spent next ten minutes talking about himself and never once asked me about my ears UNBELIEVABLE.

He wrote a report and sent to the Clinic mixing up a small problem I had Feb.2019 with their referral a year later....and sent me a copy - it is full of errors, and he attached some information printed about tinnitus etc. from internet dated 2014. I have other illnesses and was just too worn out to counter-act this report or contact him again. So I have no GP, no ENT. I went to emerge about 18 months ago and nothing was showing from sinus xray at the time, but right cheek a bit numb.

Thankfully this site has show me not a lot can be done about tinnitus and really not a lot with, if it is: eustachian tube pain, and its quite painful. Also echo, pressure etc.

As long as mineral oil wont damage my ears I will try and also tell my daughter about it... I am 77 and you would think I would have questioned no wax in ears before now, but why didn't ENT ever mention it, or my GP?Doesnt seem normal not to have any at all .

Sorry this is disjointed but just wanted to say how horrible it is in Northern Ontario with not many specialists and I cant travel cos of fecal incontinence.. but may have to ?? Have NP and Glaucoma amongst other things, its just getting too many things to deal with ... bless you for trying to help, J.
