    Not sure what the ear ache could be from. I had similar symptoms when I had vertigo. Are you dizzy by any chance? For the ear pain, it could be anything from too much wax build up to an ear infection. I suggest Hyland's Ear Ache Drops. They are amazing. You put two drops in each ear, stick half a cotton ball in, leave it in for 15 minutes. Takes pain and pressure away almost immediately.

    Hi Ethan. Definitely Sounds like you need your ears syringed to me. Wax blocking the ear canal is what causes that rushing/pounding sensation and the pressure build up is what causes the pain. Once you get it done, it's amazing. You suddenly realise you have been almost deaf before! Everything sounds extremely loud for a few hours but you soon adjust. Don't delay, it does not improve without treatment and if you get an infection it is horribly painful. Good luck and take care. Debbie

    A friend's husband has just had the same thing and used ear drops which worked a treat.
