My mom had this...and lots of ear problems...she was an undiagnosed

Hashimoto's (according to autopsy). And she had gotten the same story you did -

about

fluid in the inner ear. I would think this would improve in time with

treatment. I know with the hypo - the ear canal and everything is swollen...and

so

you probably get the itching and sounds and all in a heightened way.

Also - I have read (and she was told) that it is worse for smokers..because

that also does something to that fluid.

Sorry - no answers - just that you're not alone.

OK- you've made me laugh and identify with the ear itching... and OH

the desire of relief!

Here's a strange things that's happened for about 2 years .... drums

beating in my left ear. It gets really bad at night and I can't lay

on that side or it acts up.

One doctor said it was fluid in the inner ear that can't be treated.

Anyone had this that thyroid was able to clear up?

With hope,
