Hello @rfhami and welcome to Connect. I can certainly understand your concern and discomfort of pressure and tinnitus in your ear. I have had similar symptoms for a number of years.

You say that doctors have done a lot of tests. Has that included a brain MRI focusing on the auditory canal? If not, you might want to request that test. What about a hearing test by a certified audiologist?

We have some discussions on Connect on this topic. I would encourage you to read the posts in these discussions get to know others who have experienced pressure and noises. Here are some links:

Is this pressure/tinnitus one-sided or on both sides? How long has this been a problem? Did you have any injuries or upper respiratory infections prior to the start of these symptoms? Also, is the tinnitus a high-pitched sound or does it pulsate? (I ask these questions so that I can introduce you to others on Connect who have similar symptoms.)

Yes I've had a MRI, and nothing is wrong there. I have an appointment to see an audiologist but have no hope of seeing them this year.

-The pressure is on the left, and tinnitus is worse on the left but still some on the right.
-It's been a year.
-no injuries or respiratory problems. It began after having my ears syringed because I had water trapped in them after getting blocked from a flight.
-The tinnitus is just a high sound, no pulsating.

Thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated!
