I've had ringing in left ear for years. Over time I had gotten to the point where the ringing doesnt even bother me. But recently the same ear developed a fast and steady thumping. The thumping never stops and is way too fast to be my heartbeat. When I plug my ear and eliminate outside noise my ringing has always gotten louder. But when I plug my ear now the thumping quiets down. The doctor at the walk in clinic dxd me with Eusthachian Tube Dysfunction. He prescribed a decongestant and said in a few days the my tube should clear up and the thumping should go away. It's been a few days and there are no changes. I think he was wrong. Does anyone here have similiar thumping thats fast and steady?
