I'm a bit worried about something that's been happening for quite a while now. Whenever I chew my food or drink something, I notice this buzzing sound in my right ear. It starts internally and stops about 10-15 seconds after I stop chewing. This has been going on for about 45 months, and I'm wondering what's causing it and if there's a way to stop it. Any insights?

The buzzing sound you're experiencing in your right ear when chewing could be related to Eustachian tube dysfunction, TMJ disorder, or even tinnitus. These conditions are often treatable, but it's important to consult with a healthcare provider, especially if the symptoms persist or worsen. The doctor can help determine the exact cause and recommend the appropriate treatment for you.

View allHow common is it to need a posterior nasal pack or balloon catheter after nasal surgery or when suctioning blood clots from the throat? I've heard these can be pretty uncomfortable and I'm worried about whether they're always necessary or if there are alternatives Is there a way to tell ahead of time if someone might need one of these after surgery or is it just something you figure out if bleeding gets bad? I'm scheduled for nasal surgery soon and trying to prepare for what to expect What's the recovery like with these packs in place? Do they make breathing or swallowing way harder or is it manageable? I've got a pretty low pain tolerance so I'm nervous about the whole process
Posterior nasal packs or balloon catheters are not always necessary after nasal surgery or suctioning blood clots, but they can be used if bleeding is severe or persistent. It's usually determined on a case-by-case basis based on the severity of the bleeding. While they can cause discomfort, they are usually manageable with medication and support, and there are alternatives when possible.

I've been having this weird sensation, like something's crawling in my right ear, but every time I look, I can't find anything. When I use earphones, it feels kinda hollow in that ear, and I've been getting these intense headaches sometimes too. The eye doctor mentioned it might be from dry eyes after my LASIK. Now, I'm feeling some slight pain in my right ear and a bit of numbness. What do you think could be going on, and should I be worried?

I've had a perforated eardrum for about a year now and it's causing hearing loss. One doctor recommended surgery but I'm wondering if it'll be open surgery or if they can do it through the ear canal. How much does this surgery usually cost and is it painful or painless?
COST depends on dr and hospital and city
