I've been feeling a heaviness in my head over the last few days, and I think it might be due to wax buildup in my left ear. Could an ear infection be causing this heaviness? I'm really curious to understand what's going on.

My sister has been dealing with ear ringing for the past year. Is there a chance that it can be cured?

Ear ringing, also known as tinnitus, can have various causes and treatments depend on the underlying reason. It is important to first determine the cause of the tinnitus before starting treatment. I recommend your sister to consult an ENT specialist for a proper evaluation. Treatment options may include using a white noise machine, counseling, or medications such as Betahistine (brand name Serc) at a dosage of 16 mg three times a day to help with symptoms.
