Weird Ear Sensations


Question Posted Thursday May 21 2009, 5:49 pm

For as long as I can remember, I've had these awfully annoying sensations in my ear when I lay on my side. It feels as if something is falling through my ear canal very slowly and is usually associated with slight crackling noises.

Sometimes if I lay on my side long enough, I'll get small spasms/twinges in my feet and/or lower legs. Sometimes in an attempt to relieve these sensations I'll stick my pinky in my ear briefly, and after I do, I notice a little bit of fluid is in my ear

Despite the feeling that something is going to come out of my ear, nothing has in years. I remember something small and clear coming out of one of my years ago after experiencing this, but I was too young to really think anything of it.

I've described this to both of my parents (I'm 16) and neither seem to have any clue as to what I'm talking about. Doctors have looked into my ears briefly when I went to the doctor for sinus infections, but they haven't expressed any apparent abnormality.

I'm just incredibly frustrated, because these sensations make it very hard for me to sleep and lay comfortably. I'm looking for an answer as to what this could possibly be or what kind of doctor I should go see when looking for relief. I've tried Google and what I'm describing seems to be unprecedented.

Thank you!

What you need to do is see an ear, nose and throat specialist. Describe how this has progressed for years and mention the ear fluid and that you saw something weird come out of them once.

This may not be a problem as lots of people get fluid in their ears and have pops, crackles, momentary deafness in one ear etc. It could just be that but if it's eating at you have it checked by a specialist. They'll catch whatever a regular doctor may have missed.

This could also have something to with posture and always laying a certain way. It seems to always happen then. Stop doing that and see what happens. Also mention this to the doctor.

We aren't doctors and nor are sites found through Google. They can't diagnose and nor can we. If you see a specialist they'll find the root of the problem if in fact there is one.
