I've been experiencing some strange sensations in my ear, like occasional sounds and this feeling like something's stuck inside. It's really unsettling, and I'm not sure what to make of it. Could you shed some light on what might be happening?

Consult an ENT specialist to rule out underlying conditions. Explore sound therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and relaxation techniques to manage symptoms. Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) can help your brain habituate to tinnitus. Lifestyle changes, such as avoiding loud noises and managing stress, can also help. While there's no cure, these strategies can alleviate symptoms.

I went to get a hearing aid and the dealer took an ear impression but now there's material stuck in my middle ear after the CT scan. What should I do next and which hospital is best for this? If surgery is needed, could there be complications like damage to the incus or stapes when removing the material?
