I seem to have a persistent whistling in one ear. Not sure what started it - but 2 events spring to mind.
1.Coming home after a particularly windy ride
2.I noticed my ear was sore for few days - so much so it was painful to sleep with the left ear on the pillow
Family have been nagging me for a while to get a hearing test - which I have now done, and indeed it confirmed high frequency hearing loss. I have been put on a waiting list for hearing aids. Also had an MRI of my left ear which showed no abnormalities.
My one concern is that the hearing consultant didn't stick a camera up my nose, - as I sometimes feel pressure pushing outwards from the inner ear.
Anyway, has anyone coped with this ? - how does it affect your cycling ? - Ive looked on the web but information seems very contradictory - wear ear plugs/don't wear ear plugs - exercise helps/makes it worse
Any thoughts ?
