At first I pushed aside any worries about the ringing in my ears. After all, how serious could it be? However, as time went by and I continued to ignore the symptom, it got louder and more persistent. It's now really beginning to grate on me. This experience really made me stop and consider my condition seriously. I made an appointment with my doctor to tell him about the ringing in my ears. As I went in for my appointment, I began to realize that I'd made a big mistake by waiting so long to acknowledge my symptom. If I'd only talked to my doctor back when the ringing was still dull and intermittent, things probably would have been easier to take care of.
The primary thing I learned was that I had a condition known as a punctured eardrum. This was unfortunately due to continually using an ear scraper to clean my ears. The reason I started using an ear scraper in the first place is that my earwax is dry and more easily extracted that way than with the traditional cotton ball or Q-tip. However, my doctor warned that an ear scraper is very dangerous to use because it makes it really easy to puncture and cause injury to the eardrum.
This has been exactly my experience. Using an ear scraper to clean out my ears actually did damage to my eardrums. Because I'd gone too deeply into the ear canal when cleaning, I'd punctured the eardrum. That was where the ringing first originated. Because I ignored it when it was just a mild manifestation, it became louder and worse as I continued to injure them with my ear scraper. The ringing has now become very loud and disruptive to my life, and the damage to my eardrums has become much more serious.
You should never ignore any symptom; it can be a sign of a serious underlying health issue. Early detection is the key to solving the problem early on before it does cause any more injury. I learned my lesson the hard way, if I had consulted a physician early on when the ringing in my ears started, I could have prevented myself from needing to use an ear scraper, and having to go through the whole experience of tinnitus.
