For the last few years i have some health problems with my right ear. Interestingly it always starts in about April-May and stops some time in September. My right ear starts to itch and my hearing worsens. I’ve tried going to the doctors before with no luck, but last year they found that i have some infection and healed it.
At least i thought so.
Now, it started again, but this time my ear started to hurt too! It makes me crazy, can’t sleep well and i’m feeling very uncomfortable. I’ll try to find some time to go to the doctors this week. Hope that pain goes away fast.
So don’t be surprised if you’re talking to me and i don’t hear you 🙂
Known workaround: yell while talking with me.
Note for the internet friends: Caps lock doesn’t work the same way as yelling.

Sucks – maybe since it is seasonal it could be related to allergies?
Everything is possible, but the last time i went to the doctor and they took some test they found some virus infection which they said i could bring from countries like Egypt / Turkey or something. I was in turkey the year all this strange things started.
Also, i haven’t had this issue for my whole life except for the past few years, so i’m not sure what changed that i started to get allergic 🙂
I’ve heard various urban legends of insects, crawling into human ear during sleep, staying there, dying there, etc. These stories usually come to my mind when somebody talks about ear pain or itch, but in this case I hope the doctors had a good eye on your ear and didn’t miss out some guy with wings and antennas making home arrangements 🙂
Brr… Definitely not this situation! I hate bugs! Both software bugs and real bugs 🙂
