Few times I’ve had this and the doctor just cleaned my ear and it was gone. In ear headphones can cause that by pushing earwax back. I stopped using in ear headphones and haven’t had that happen in years. Just giving you a reason to stay positive, tinnitus can cause by some easily fixed things.
Despite having not yet participated in these, I’m enjoying it a lot. I try to guess before looking at the comments and got my wife joining in. Please more!
