constant popping in ear
Posted: 05-01-08 07:53am

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 ?
