Ears are main post Covid complaint
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: Sep 27 10:22am | Replies (104)Comment receiving replies
I too am suffering with ear issues since having covid, blocked with pressure ringing and pulsing in the ears. Taken antibiotics orally & ear drops for weeks now, it’s driving me crazy with the pressure and ringing GP said I need to see a ENT . Yesterday it was so bad I took myself to Emergency at the hospital finally saw 2 ENT’s after theirs examations they both said ears are slightly inflamed most likely caused by the covid virus and to take anti inflammatories and to go see a audiologist about the ringing and hearing loss in the ears. So that’s my next step however from what I’ve been reading on the post covid threads it’s pretty much normal to not get answers from gps and specialists. Is it learn to live with this? Who knows. My next step is audiologist testing .

Ok, I see you mention your GP.
I do wear hearing aids now, but not much help.
The pressure and clogged feeling never goes away.

Depending on how much time has passed they might prescribe a steroid to see if that helps. I’m curious who put you on ear drops and antibiotic. I imagine your primary care doctor.
You’re right, I have seen six ENT doctors. I’ve had two CT scans, and they don’t find anything wrong with my ears!
It’s very frustrating. Some people do get over it. I’m sixteen months in and as you said, just trying to live with it.....no choice.
I’m constantly researching and hoping for an answer.
