Wax, Infection , Tinnitus
From last 5 years i usually get my ear full of wax (every 6-7 monyhs) because of which i use to face problem in hearing and every time after visiting the ENT Dr and getting the cleaning done it used to be fine.
Lat month i had the same problem but after the wax was removed i am hearing a constant beep sound which i doubt is tinnitus . What could be the cause and which specialist should i visit to for further examination?

Return to your ENT doctor and let him re-examine your ears. If your ear drum is intact, you may need to undergo a Pure Tone Audiometry and Impedance Audiometry for your doctor to reach a diagnosis.

Your doctor deserves one chance to redeem himself after helping you all these years.
