I had a mastoidectomy tympanoplasty about three weeks back, and ever since, I've been hearing these dub dub sounds every now and then. But since yesterday, I've been hearing it a lot more, and just today, it went on for about 20-30 minutes straight. There's no pain, but I'm really curious about why this is happening. It seems to get worse when I'm traveling, especially if there are potholes on the road. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

A flaky skin issue in your inner ear, followed by a transparent liquid discharge and pain, requires attention.
Possible causes:
- Ear eczema (atopic dermatitis)
- Seborrheic dermatitis
- Middle ear infection
- Eustachian tube dysfunction
Consult an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for proper evaluation and treatment.
Avoid further peeling or inserting objects into your ear to prevent infection or damage.

View allI'm about a month post-tympanoplasty and I'm experiencing this persistent itching and some weird noises in my ear. There's also this internal skin pain that's kind of bothering me. When I talked to my surgeon, they said it's all normal, but I'm still worried. Is it really usual to have these symptoms after the surgery?
Usually it's not normal but in few cases healing process would cause those symptoms,no need to worry, follow your surgeons advice do not attempt to scratch or massage it.

I've been experiencing pain on the right side of my throat near my Adam's apple for a few weeks now. It's really uncomfortable when I blow my nose and occasionally when I swallow. Just today I started coming down with a cold, along with a stuffy nose and sore throat. But this type of pain is something I haven't had before during a cold. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?
yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent

I'm dealing with vertigo and I'm not sure whether I should see an ENT specialist or a neurologist, or maybe even both. Can you help me figure out which one would be more appropriate for my symptoms? Also, is this condition harmful or something I shouldn't be too worried about? I'm curious if it's something that can be treated with just medicine or exercises. Is surgery sometimes necessary for this kind of issue?
If you are experiencing vertigo which is triggered by positional changes, such as whilst getting up from a lying down position, or whilst turning your head quickly, you should consult an ENT specialist in order to rule out BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). If your vertigo is triggered at random, without any particular change in position, you should consult a neurologist for further evaluation.
