have a question.

been experiencing this weird feeling in my ear where feels kinda like someone is using my eardrum as a real drum. rhythmic pressure changes that have a sort of whooshing sound/feel. not in time to my heartbeat. they come in groups of 2-4 back to back but also in clusters of those groups that last a couple minutes.

best guess from google is middle ear myoclonus but curious if anyone else has experienced.

i suspect this is also related to my new inability to spin.

anyone experienced this before?

I'll have to cut my hair again later. My hair really is still growing out more, and it's getting annoying. We're approaching the time where it'll start getting into my eyes, and I'm really not looking forward to that. Not at all. I need to get it cut a bit soon, but I'm trying to hold out until after College goes on winter break.

Beyond my hair, I also need new glasses. My current glasses are like six years old, and they're not really doing much for me now. They're old and I'm going to physically outgrow them soon, but I can't help wearing them. None of my other glasses feel as good, so I'm still clinging onto these old ones that do nothing for me. So I need to try and get new glasses over winter break too, probably. I want metal frames like my current ones, but soft enough metal that they're soft and flexible and you barely feel them when they're on. That's why I like these ones. I barely even notice them sometimes.

Finally, my ear is popping again. I don't know why, but it is. And I'm just going to assume it's because I slept on my right ear for the third or fourth night in a row. Every time I lay on that ear, it feels weird. But I can't help laying on it. It's the only way my brain seems to want to sleep now, so I don't know what I'll do. It's annoying regardless. And I probably also have some other problems too, but I don't remember them right now. I'm too tired, I guess. Either way, it'd be easier to do this stuff if it was just me and my dad at Christmas this year. But I feel like that's (sadly) very unlikely to happen.

You guys my ear is clogged because I have a stupid brain and my entire body hates me and my adhd brain literally WILL NOT allow me to FUNCTION because my ear feels SLIGHTLY UNCOMFY and it sounds stupid but this might actually be my last straw like I’m so done with everything I don’t wanna have a physical body anymore it just hurts all the time and I hate everything and nothing ever goes right and I can’t remember the last time I was genuinely happy and I don’t know what to do anymore I need help

I’ve had consistent problems with my right ear ever since I was little. I had countless ear infections as a kid and when I was 10 I had a cholesteatoma removed along with (if I remember correctly) having one of my inner ear bones replaced. After that I’ve just dealt with constant pain, vertigo, popping, and intermittent total hearing loss in that ear. It’s not very good at being an ear. I finally decided to talk to my PCP about this and she referred me to an ENT- yippee another specialist for my collection. Amazingly I got an appointment made within two weeks of the referral and I’m actually supposed to see him this week. So offfffff course my ear decides to act up in the most painful way it has in a While. I’m worried I either have an infection or my ear drum is trying to rupture. It did that back in 2018 and my already bad hearing got even worse so I really don’t think I have much to lose at this point. Which is unfortunate because if my doctor decides I need a hearing aid… I simply won’t be able to afford it. My insurance only covers adults of three specific categories, of which I am not, and hearing aids are crazy expensive. So I simply will only have one good ear as I likely continue to lose my hearing in my bad ear. I’m hopeful for the appointment to go well but god I could really go without this pain. Wish me luck and also can we make hearing aids more accessible???? Like hello wtf is that about???

Just learned that, infact, not everyone has to deal with constant, annoying, near 24/7 ringing in their ears. Shocked and upset.
