I've been having a ringing sound in my ear ever since my ENT doctor removed some earwax. It's been about 1.5 months now, and it happens for around 5 hours a day, but not all at once. I'm starting to get worried. What should I do about it?

Tinnitus can be distressing!
To alleviate the whistle-type sound and improve sleep:
Immediate Relief
- White noise: Use a machine, fan, or phone app to mask the sound.
- Relaxation techniques: Try meditation, deep breathing, or yoga to reduce stress.
Medical Consultation
- ENT specialist: Consult an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist for a thorough evaluation.
- Hearing test: Get a hearing test to rule out underlying hearing issues.
Lifestyle Changes
- Avoid loud noises: Protect your hearing by avoiding loud environments.
- Manage stress: Engage in stress-reducing activities to help cope with tinnitus.
- Establish sleep routine: Develop a consistent sleep schedule and create a relaxing sleep environment.

View allI have a hole in my right middle ear and I'm worried about the complications it might cause. Can it heal naturally with things like steam or other home remedies? How serious is the surgery for this and what's the procedure like? I'd really prefer a natural way to fix it if possible.
A hole in the eardrum (perforated eardrum) can heal on its own, especially if it's small or caused by a recent injury or infection. However, most cases, especially those involving larger holes, require surgical repair. While home remedies like steam or other similar treatments won't heal the hole, they can help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of infection. If the hole doesn't heal on its own or causes significant hearing loss, surgery (tympanoplasty) may be necessary

I've been dealing with this annoying "kich kich" sensation in my throat for quite a while now. It's starting to really bother me, and I'd love to figure out what's causing it and how to make it go away. Could this be something serious, or is it just a common issue that can be treated easily?
That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.

I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for a while now, below where my Adam's apple is, sort of around the thyroid gland area. I went to see an ENT specialist and he mentioned it might be granular pharyngitis after checking my tonsils, but it just doesn't feel right. It's like the sensation is further down. What do you think could be causing this feeling, and what steps should I take next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a sensation of something stuck in your throat, which could be related to granular pharyngitis. To help alleviate this feeling, you can try using a throat spray like Chloraseptic (benzocaine) to numb the area and reduce discomfort. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter antihistamines like Claritin (loratadine) to help with any inflammation or allergic reactions that may be contributing to the sensation. If the feeling persists, it would be advisable to follow up with your ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.
