Please Doctors, kindly come to my aid.

WHAT HAPPENED

I don't know if it's called Earpod, Earbud or Airpod, but it's all earpiece.
So I bought a Bluetooth one, downloaded Spotify playlist app on my phone's playstore and began listening to jamz 24/7 except when I'm bathing. Even at work, I use it.

I wasn't used to using accessories like this.

So, I noticed a pain inside my right ear, later it became a boyl. I felt the pains, took Bicham ampiclox and after a few days, it disappeared.

Now I can't hear with that ear any longer. I can only partially hear with it.

HOW AM I FEELING ?

In the ear, I feel like there's a blockage which is impeding sound. I feel like there's water in there. You know how it is when you're bathing and water enters into your ear? That's how the feeling is, right now. If I'm talking to someone, I feel there is an earpiece hanging in my ear, so I need to speak louder than normal. This is the Third day.
I am worried.

We need more awareness about the danger of prolonged use of earphones 🎧...

sorry op, your case should trigger the needed awareness.
Your inner hair cells has probably been desensitized by prolonged exposure to sounds. . You are likely to suffer from noise-induce hearing loss which is often irreversible. Go and visit an ENT specialist at any teaching hospital for proper diagnosis and management plans. Thank you

Go to the nearest ent hospital

Eardrum dislike stress and you've overstressed it

They will give you a proper diagnoses and treatment to restore sanity to your ear

Don't go to anyhow hospital, visit the nearest professional ENT hospital

Listen to me. Go to a tertiary institution and see the ENT surgeon immediately

Stop using anything ear whatever

Don't let technology destroy you

Go to teaching hospital ASAP

Don't plug anything in your ear ever again.

The human Ear is a hole
The same way the anus is a hole and Virgina is hole.

When you chuck foreign object inside your ear hole you are committing fornication of the ear

Ear piece oo. Earpod oo, all na Ear Love Machine
That is why I don't share my earpiece
It is the same as sharing Love Machine with strangers

Some men are claiming virgin
But their ear hole na slut
Everytime e dey chuck something for ear
Why your ear no go catch STD

Now the ear don gbim after rigorous knacking

Next time put condom for the earpiece before you chuck am inside your earhole anyhow

What you should get is hydrogen peroxide 3% for home use.

Pour little inside your ear hold the place up for close to 10 minutes. Do that morning and night.

It will kill the bacteria in there and fight off any infection and debris blockage.

Hydrogen peroxide cost about 15k now.

Otitis media

Op, pray it is not the one o. Nothing has pained me in my life like that thing.

But I still use airpods around the clock since then.

Too much of everything is bad

Instead of you running to the hospital na nairaland you come. Just dey play until u go completely deaf and dumb.....

Possibly ear Infection

DSS1335:

Absolutely... There are certain dangers especially with the wireless earbuds that have gained steady awareness over the last few years in other climes.

This pertains to the increased risk due to the Bluetooth tech and it's reliance on EMF electromagnetic wave in proximity to the skull & then the earpieces itself trapping moisture in the ear canals leading to bacteria or fungal external ear infections.

If you're aware of these, then there are steps you can take to minimise these risks. Some celebrities and sportsmen have openly stopped promoting such technologies for the adverse effects on them.

I'm sure each time you increase the volume to max, your phone will bring up a prompt, warning you that high volume is capable of causing ear damage, but you think it's just a courtesy from the manufacturers, now you are seeing the purpose of the warning.
Before you visit the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Department of a General Hospital for proper treatment, first stop using any form of ear plug, avoid noises around you in church or party or from sound system, after sometimes you should begin to feel some relief in the ear, but if the condition is getting worse or no improvement, proceed to ENT for proper treatment.
However, if you notice any liquid coming from the ear, get chloramphenicol ear drop immediately and follow prescription on the pamphlet.

I'm not doctor.

Go and meet a certified one at a hospital. What I can ask is did you turn the volume all the way up most period?

Adaptation, your ear is adapting to the new changes you gave it, it’s nothing to worry about, just like after effect

You’ll recover in full

Don't panic bro, just stop the use of earplugs and bathing under the regular shower head.

Water do escape into your ear while you are under a shower, especially when the water of high a high pressure.
I have been there, you will loose balance and incomplete...

Use hand/cable shower head instead, that way you can manipulate where and how the water hits you.
Exactly like the type below, or take water from the bucket(the normal old way)

Kindly visit a teaching hospital like someone said above. I empathize with you; I pray you receive joy in Jesus Christ Mighty Name.

Go and see an ENT doctor. Having same issue though mine was due to the use of cotton swab

How can you be on ear piece 24/4 and not expect side effect?
For me just an hour with it I usually get headache

Hearing aid will be recommended for you

Stop using it. That is early state of hearing impairment. Mine was noise in my ears after using earpod, been 10yrs nos the noise still in my ears and making it hard for me to hear people talking clear. Best is for you to visit an ETN specialist

The are some tiny filtering hairs inside of the ear drum that serves as protection against excessive noise waves.

Excessive usage of earbuds/pods at high level volumes will gradually wear them out, and that results into your current situation. Once they are destroyed, you start getting a sound.

Check the below YouTube clip FYI:

Don't use any drugs on it. Visit the hospital for further advice.

You have no much issue, just stop using the ear pod frequently.


Go to a pharmacy, I mean original pharmacy, not a chemist, and explain to them, they will give you ear drop to use every night and morni g, between 2 weeks it will vanish...

It happened to me just exactly how you explained it

he is telling you the truth bro. Been 10yrs with my hearing impairment. I make use of hearing aids at time but I don't feel comfortable with it. Now if you talk and I don't hear I can ask you to repeat it. Somehow annoying

bro, are you human being like this.

@Op
I once experienced something similar.[color=#006600][/color]
I highly suspect that there was damp condition in your ear canal as a result of long use of your ear piece and it resulted to fungus infection hence the uncomfortable feelings in your ear(s) right now. You could treat with antifungal cream, antibiotics and pain relief tablets. However, I strongly advise you see an Ear, Neck and Throat (ENT) specialist in a hospital for proper evaluation. I wish you a quick recovery🙏

Go and see a ENT specialist in the General Hospital where you live. Nairaland.com will not solve the problem for you.
