Large Heydon ColliderContemplating sodium carbonate ear drops for clearing one ear, which seems to be blocked. The leaflet states the symptoms of wax buildup the product is designed to address, which includes tinnitus. Then it says don't use it if you have tinnitus.

Paul Kinlan@heydon have you had your hearing checked? I have tinnitus and thought I had blocked ears (they felt like it had a lot of wax and I had to pop ears all the time). Turns out I'm losing my hearing.
@paul Hi Paul. Probably... I play in a loud band. But this came on during a Christmas hiatus. Haven't been subjected to loud music for weeks now.
@heydon yeah. Yeah mine came in a quiet period too and it might because i was because I was using the chainsaw extensively a couple of weeks prior. I have been sick recently and then I went to get my ears dewaxed the audiologist said there was zero wax in my ears and then he did a hearing test then said I've lost a couple of decibels in my hearing and that's what kind of causes the tinnitus as your ears brain tries to compensate.... Could be a cold though.
@paul Sorry to hear that, Paul. I'll find out soon enough!
@heydon thanks :) I was more hoping yours are ok :)
