So, I finally got an appointment to have my ears syringed. I'd been trying for a while but their machine was broken and I had to wait for them to get a new one. I was very excited at the thought of being able to hear clearly again and not have horrible crunching when I moved my head.
So, I go this morning and while the left ear was done with no problems, the right ear was not so lucky.
Apparently the ear drum is visible in the right ear. It's not blocked up with wax.
That means that while I can hear better now, thanks to my left ear being cleared, my right ear is still muffled. Which is very annoying. But worse than that, it means my head still creaks and crunches when I move it in certain ways. I'm not sure it's possible to explain exactly how horrible this feeling is unless you've experienced it yourself so it's difficult to explain just how much this upsets me.
Because now what? I do still have a cold so there is the slight hope that my ear problem is related to that and it will clear up when the cold does, but I don't have much hope since I've been having ear issues longer than this cold.
All I can do is wait for the cold to clear then if I still have problems go to the doctor and see if he can help me. And I really hope he can because continuing like this would be unbearable. I was only able to cope with it for so long because I had the knowledge that it would go away once I had my ears done. And now I don't know when, or if, it will ever go away.
