I got used to the ringing in my ears, but the ringing in the right ear has become much louder over the last few months, which makes sleeping in silence hard. The left ear started a beeping sound, but has progressed to a low pitch clarinet-like sound that sometimes goes away when I pop my ears.
I'm seeing an ENT in a few days, but this is maddening and makes sleep so hard.
You must be in the US, I will see the doctor next week. Problem is he sends a request to the insurance (about a week) I get a letter and call the specialist and make an appointment witch could take as long as 2 weeks. At the specialist to confirm the problem and the specialist makes a request to treat problem and that can take up to 2 weeks. Yeah it takes a long time in the US.
Back home in Germany it would take one week and 3 office visits.
Yeah going from making a primary care dr appointment to cardiologist referral to electrophysiologist referral for surgery will easily take me into likely February. Many hospitals and private practice offices are very understaffed right now. I had an appointment today where I waited for over an hour after my appointment time to be called back because they are understaffed everywhere.
My brother had a heart attack last year, went to ER they told him was nothing and a few days later I took him to the ER and he was in for 10 day. He had an appointment with the cardiologist Monday but they canceled and now he has a new appointment for January. I hope you get the help you need.
I have heart problems that could potentially cause some of the issues. Problem is it will be 8 weeks still to see the cardiologist
