rapid thumping sound in left ear

I started with the same symptoms in one ear in August. It has come and gone frequently since then. I discovered through this site and others’ comments that this is MEM (middle ear myoclonus) and is evidently quite rare but not normally dangerous just aggravating. The best suggestion I’ve seen here is to join the MEM Facebook group. There’s so much info from others who have this condition. I’ve found that many doctors have never heard of it. 🤷‍♀️ But there’s info out there you just have to search for it.

I was diagnosed with Eustachian tube dysfunction. Doesn’t sound like there is much they can do for it. It all started right around the time I came down with the last Covid bug (my first time testing positive) It actually was improved quite a bit for three months. I thought I was good but then came roaring back 2 days ago. In addition to the dysfunction I am suspicious stress is a factor as I have a lot going on at the moment. I am back to the ENT next month. I also notice changes in weather and allergies
