I had a bit of an odd experience a few weeks ago. My hearing went dull, my tinnitus was a fair bit louder, and my ears felt full - just randomly, no cold symptoms or anything. Sound made my hearing dull even more, the tinnitus get even louder, the pressure in my ears greater, and made me feel very dizzy. This was on the Sunday, and going to work on Monday was really strange. My left ear felt better than my right (the tinnitus is always louder in my right now; has been for a few months), but naturally being in a classroom it got quite noisy at times. It didn't get ridiculously noisy, but enough so on occasion that I could hear nothing above the tinnitus, and I had to hold onto something in order not to fall over! By the afternoon it was better - thank goodness; I don't know how I'd have kept upright during music with all three classes - and by the evening there was only a slight residual feeling of fullness and slightly louder tinnitus than usual. By Tuesday everything was back to normal.
So yeah, strange.
