I had to fly to Fort Worth from Chicago and back over the last week and something very strange happened.
On the way back while ascending, I had a terrible case of vertigo where it looked like the plane was going through the air like a spiraled football throw.
It eventually passed but then I noticed something else strange.
When I would lean my head forward, everything in my right ear would get a little quieter but when I looked up or forward, it seemed louder than what is the norm with my hearing aid on.
At first, I took this to be a problem with my hearing aid maybe getting magnetized or un-programmed by airport security but I later tested by just moving the BTE portion while leaving the era mold in and that didn't change it.
It seems to be with my ear itself. After sleeping that night, it seemed to clear up but today it is happening again. Not identically but very similar.
I have never had something like this happen before and I'd like to know what the heck is going on and make sure that flying is not going continue to be an issue since I may have to do a fair amount of flying soon for a new job that I was interviewing for in the first place.
There was also some discomfort while descending in both directions and someone I spoke to said this was probably a result of some allergy problems I am currently going through from the cotton wood trees in my yard.
Is this something I can expect to eventually clear up or do I need to see someone about it? I was asked if I heard any loud popping noise during the flight and the answer to that is no.
Can someone give me any insight to this? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.
