    Dont know, wish I could help you there Val. Ear stuff is a damn nuisance. If you mention ear problems to anyone they tend to think 'oh its just your ears, whats your problem'. But when its ongoing on a daily basis it becomes just another hurdle to deal with on top of everything else.

    I've had eczema in my ears for 5 or 6 years now, drs prescribed so many things, doesnt work. told just have to put up with it. If it isnt the itching and burning from my ears during the night keeping me awake, its the arthur pain, or the eye problem due to thyroid eye disease :roll:

    I hope someone can help you with your question.

    know exactly what you mean. Its because Ive left things in the past (thinking dr would think me hypo) that I'm how I am now!!!!
    Go and see dr, dont leave anything to get worse, at least you'll know one way or the other.

    Hi there
    It might be a middle ear problem / Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, ask your GP for an ENT referral.

    When I shake head side to side I can always hear clicking and it is definately from my neck and ears.It has got worse lately.
    I had a lot of ear probs before diagnosed with arthur with a persistent infection.Eventually had blue/green poison coming out but got antibiotics and it went away,

    I've got Arhtur in my jaw...........and a list of other places......

    When Its active in my jaw I get a 'clicking' in my ears.........Its actually where the jaw bone meets your head..........but feels like its in the ears.

    I can feel it when I chew on anything..........

    I think women suffer more than men though.....

    Maybe its because they talk more....and wear it out??? :roll:

    For me, its a weird, but not unpleasent sensation.....
