Ear Congestion Clicking and Ringing Ears?

Asked by aph32 (5points) July 22nd, 2013

Hi, I was having problems with both my ears, muffled hearing, so I went to GP surgery and had them syringed. During the syringing the health care assitant carrying out the procedure turned the pressure up and I felt pain/dizziness. She then did the same to the other ear. As I was leaving the dizziness was still there had to hold onto the wall. The dizziness past after a few minutes and I thought everything was ok. On waking up the next day my ears felt very blocked and I could not hear properly but the worst thing was a very loud ringing in both ears. Went back to GP a couple of days later he said ears looked ok but my left eardrum looked cloudly so said I had congestion. He said it was nothing to do with the syringing but probably a virus! Said to go back in 2 weeks if not gone away. It did not go away the ringing is very loud and ears still blocked. Every time I swallow lots of clicking. After 2 weeks went back GP looked in ears again and now says my right eardrum has a hole in it. Will the ringing go away eventually? I have had this for 2 months now, only found out about the perforation a week ago so now taking precautions regarding getting water in ears. Any advice would be great.
