I woke up this morning with the most awful earache and what i was later told was tinnitus. I don't listen to ipods (i don't have one!) and i don't have a job that exposes me to loud noises. However yesterday i did a 4 hour round trip in my car with a "friend" who shouted for the full duration of the journey. And it is my ear that was closest to her that is affected. It was so painful i phoned NHS 24 who diagnosed over the phone and told me to warm some olive oil and pour a wee bit of that in. I did and spent the remainder of the morning in bed with my ear plugged with cotton wool that seems to have worked as I have got rid of most of the ringing sensation and can hear properly in the affected ear. Although it is still quite sore. Anyone got any easy home remedies for earache? it's knocked my balance off kilter aswell. Tried to do some schooling with toby this afternoon and nearly fell off him as my balance and spatial awareness was all to pot.
I'm a bit annoyed with my "friend" aswell. I told her repeatedly that she didn't need to shout as i was sat right next to her. i think next time for the sake of my health i need to wear ear plugs!
