I have developed a loud humm in my left ear. In 2008 the same thing happened but it seemed to go away. And it seemed in my right ear. I went to the doctor this week and they removed some wax. At the appointment I was hopeful all was solved. But unfortunately, when I got home I realized it was still with me. I had a hearing test and my hearing is normal.
I can't tell you how much this bothers me. I will say I am lucky that during the workday I can't hear it. At work and on the train air conditioning systems are so loud they drown it out. But at home... can hear it. Over the TV!
My only theory and hope is that it could be related to dehydration. I have seen some suggestion on the net that not having enough water can lead to drying out of the hairs in your ear which cause a problem. That would make sense because in the last year I have been HORRIBLE on the water intake. And one of the first things I notice when I am dehydrated is that my regular hair gets thin and brittle.
Anyone else have anything like this? I might go back to the doctor but if I have normal hearing it typically rules out anything serious.
