My R ear has been a nuisance for over a week  - it was making me feel ill yesterday, a gentle pulsating, background ringing and the feeling that there was a cork stuck down the drum.  I wriggled the lobe with my fingers, poked my finger into the ear and moved it but the glob of 'cork' didn't move.  Fortunately it's been better 2-day.

That sounds like a ear problem causing the noise.  The only other cause can be temporal mandibular joint dysfunction as well.

As an update I had a further mri brain scan( for another issue!) and the cyst had gone that they thought was causing the 24/7 pulsitile tinnitus so it wasn't that then!!  This affects my left ear.

Now I have developed just for a hour or so after I get up in the morning a sound like someone standing on a crisp packet in my right ear If i rub infront of my ear it goes away. Told this is probably due to gunk in my eustation tube moving after going from laying down to getting up.

I have tmj trouble in both jaw joints so its a bit take your pick as too what causes what.

Hope yours settles down soonx

I also have TMJ disorder and I get this pulsing and ringing intermittently too. Aggravating isn't it?

Crisp packet sounds about right  ……. it's better this morning    after manipulating the lobe for ages yesterday.

Had all what everyone says on posts on and off for a couple of years it went straight away when started on oestrogen.

ohhhh yet another thing to add to the list of lack of homones cause

I had this ringing in the ears.... was referred for hearing test and I have lost the ability to hear very high pitched noises (which is weird as I can seem to hear them in my ears!)
I am not even sure which ear it is coming from. Anyway, was fitted with hearing aids as I was borderline to get these fitted but I could not get on with them. Noises really made me jump and be extra nervous !!

I found that the noises whooshing, popping come and go, some days being more intense than others, but have learned to get on and live with it. I think if you accept it, the noise fades slightly. I find it worse in a room with no background noise. Also find that the noise gets louder if I get stressed about something, so I try relaxation CD's. Had an appointment with ENT specialist, found nothing. Found out that I had TMJ through teeth grinding at night. My mother had died and I put it down to anxiety levels increasing.  Now, some days I notice it, other days I don't.

Hope this helps.

Sounds like me only I don't have any hearing loss ( ears like a bat!). The pulsitile tinnitus is there 24/7 but doesn't really bother me I am used to it and now the crisp packet crackling for first 2 hours after I get up in the morning.  I also get sudden ringing in one ear with deafness in the othr for a few seconds - thats really strange but again had it for many a year.

We could probably get together and write a book on ear noises!

My ears are at it again  - buzzing and whistling but not on the same tune  - the R side is worse even when I wriggly my finger in as far down as possible.

Never put anything smaller that your elbow into your ear! You can do damage! 😳

[CLKD]

That's why fingers are the size they are: so that they can't be inserted into the ear drum  .  All quiet now ;-).

E.N.T. told me not to clean my ears, they would do it for me by micro suction, which is like a mini hoover sucking out any debris.

My tinnitus has been bad lately - when I lay on my right side (ear with Tinnitus is on the left) it sounds like it is raining outside, really weird.
I have my yearly check up at the hospital soon, I must remember to mention it.

My R ear is the 1 that I sleep on and by morning it's moist and sort of stuck, I have to wriggle it in order to hear anything  .  Not aware of any buzzing yet 2-day!

Earlier this week I began hearing voices  .  My L ear is very bunged up and noted that the conversation from the TV across the room is reverberating against the radiator and bouncing back in 'words' 

Both ears are pulsing now, at different rhythms 

[countrybumpkin]

Its awful isn't it.  do you ever get the sensation as if your eardrum is vibrating/flapping. So hard to describe but horrible when it happens, thankfully usually only for about 30 seconds. It makes me totally unbalanced at the time.
