hi....
Hi... I had a bad ear squeeze (diving
without equalising air spaces )after scuba
diving three weeks ago and i think this
caused a right ear infection.
I noticed previous to the infection a
deep green brown liquid being produced
after every dive (that i initially thought
was cigarette tar from my lungs!)
After a while i developed a pain in my
right ear that became more progressive
over three days. I also suffered worsening
hearing loss.
I went to an ear doctor and he said i had
a middle ear infection and prescribed
antibiotics and ear drops and
decongestants. The pain in my ear was
considerable. A week later the pain had
not gone much so i went to another ear
doctor and he also said i had an ear
infection. More antibiotics were
prescribed. Although the pain has now gone
I HAVE HAD CONSTANT POPPING IN MY RIGHT
EAR EVERY TIME I SWALLOW AND BLOW MY NOSE
THAT SOMETIMES RESULTS IN DULLED
HEARING... it feels like a membrane moving
every time my ears pop. Will this heal ?
Is it anything to do with a round window
rupture ? Can i go diving again ?
