I was giddy for a little while so went to see my GP she said I had lots of wax in my ear so she made me an appointment for syringe but the nurse couldn't do it as I was to giddy she said the doctor had to do it with microsussion three weeks and three prosidure's later with apparently clear ears I am left with hardly any hearing in my left ear and a feeling that me ear will explode at any minute I just don't know what to do I feel so unwell and beginning to think I should have just put up with the giddy spells is their anyone that can throw some light on what's happened and why

    I had similar it started in January and is still not right. The last doctor I saw said there was no treatment for it.   Steaming over boiling water does help after a while.  I get a few good days and then I feel awful again so I do sympathise with you

    I find I have to keep busy all the time to try and forget a bit.  I get very down about it although it is better than it was in January. The worse thing is at night when all I want to do is sleep and I hear this constant noise that I can't get rid of.  Try steaming about three times a day for 20minutes at a time it does give a bit of relief.  You have my sympathy though nobody understands unless they are going through this horrible thing

    There seems to be no reason behind all this as far as I know. I have never had anything like it
