I believe i have tinnitus because i can hear a pulse in my left ear. It started months ago and i guess i thought it was normal. It has begun to hurt. I tried buying some ear wax removal stuff, and today is the 4th day straight that ive used it. I think it is getting worse. What should i do? Should i go to a clinic or an ENT?

About 9 months ago I had my first child. Right before time to go to my 6 week check-up, out of no where I just got this sudden feeling like I was going to faint. Since that day from the time I wake up til the time I go to sleep at night I have constant dizziness. It sometimes feels as though the floor is moving out from under me. I have a very hard time focusing in on something with my vision. I feel like I’m wearing some kind of blurry goggles or something. & if I’m trying to concentrate looking in on something the dizziness gets extremely worse. I get a numb feeling in my head and arms. I feel that my head is being pulled forwards & backwards. I get a spinning sensation in my head. My anxiety has increased majorly because I’m scared I’m going to pass out or something major is wrong with me. I have no energy and I just feel awful all the time. Headaches etc. It has taken over my life. Even just the everyday things. Im scared to stay alone. It is horrible. Over the last 9 months I have been to so many doctors and specialists. & I’ve heard so many different things. I just want to know if theres anyone else going through this & might have a treatment for all this. I listed what I’ve been diagnosed with & all the test that have been done below.. If anyone knows anything please let me know.
Diagnosis
Vertigo(#1 Answer)
Eustachian tube dysfunction
Tinnitus
Low Vitamin D
Anxiety/Depression
Test Done
2 CT Scans of Brain-Normal
CT Scan of Sinuses- ENT said that I had a deviated septum
Tubes placed in both Ears
Balance Testing/Therapy- Normal (Only went to therapy once & she dismissed me.) My balance was great.
2 Thyroid Blood Test-Normal
Hormone Testing-Normal
EKG-Normal
Heart Rythm Testing-Normal
Numerous Blood Testing-Normal (except for the Vitamin D, which I started taking 2x a day)
Eye Exam (I do wear glasses)- Normal
Medications
Anxiety- Propranonol- 10mg 2x a day
I have been prescribed meclizine, Dramamine, & even Phenagan for the dizziness. None of them helped. Just made it worse.
Raymond- I have been taking the Propranonol for about 4 or 5 months. I actually took this medication 20mg 2x a day before I got pregnant & of course I quit while I was pregnant. It worked wonders the first time & it seems as though I’m not near as jumpy & my heart is not racing near as much. Im confident its not any neurological..I just know that I have always got frequent ear infections & have been told that I have fluid behind my ears. My sinuses have always gave me trouble since I was younger. So I had surgery to get tubes put in because the ENT was confident it was related to my infections & pressure in my ears. Its been about 3 months & nothing has changed. All this dizziness & stuff started about a month after I had my daughter. My pregnancy went great. Just minor issues like developing high blood pressure. I had no anxiety issues while I was pregnant & didnt even feel anxious after delivering. The anxiety just really kicked in when I started getting dizzy & being scared of f

Started as a "rushing" noise in my ear about 2 years ago, occuring off and on. For the past three months, I’ve had been a constant high-pitched ringing, some days louder than others. Occasionally, I have an "episode" where it is so loud, it’s like a train whistle in my head! Most days, as long as there’s background noise, I can deal with it. Other days, even background noise doesn’t "mask" it and I want to pull my hair out! I’m 53, in good health, otherwise–but have no insurance and unemployed–which is why I haven’t seen a doctor…any good, sound advice to help relieve this "ringing" would be greatly appreciated! Oh–I believe I do have some hearing loss because of it–not sure if it’s that or just that some noises bother more than others–like when the dogs bark…

I went to a club for the first time in April and its now December
both my ears rang loudly afterwards but after a few days the right ear stopped ringing yet the left continues to ring.
I read on google that tinnitus wasn’t curable so i put it down as that…however i can feel like a scab-like thing in the ear cannal.
wondered if that may be a cause of ringing rather than tinnitus ?
