Greetings all, I had a barotrauma event in the philippines in november. I also had an ear infection just before this, which was cleared by a doctor in the philippines. Diving was fine, just took a day off here and there ,when the ear was problematic. Anyway, I was fine heading home, and lost partial hearing on the plane, which my ENT called sudden hearing loss. I have not yet recovered my hearing and my left ear rings like crazy, 2 months later !
My guy at stanford said I have probably damaged the oval window, and recommended quitting diving !!! I sure would consider this if I could rid myself of the tinnitius and hyperacusis ! This brings a new meaning to miserable !
Today I try a new med called nortyptiline to hopefully help with the ringing ! Any similar nightmare stories out there ?
