NSAIDs reduce pain, inflammation and swelling while helping the body return to a normal temperature. When the body is injured or ill, it releases an enzyme known as COX. NSAIDs help control two specific types of COX enzymes, COX-1 and COX-2.
If you have an outer ear infection or a middle ear infection, your ears may be filled with a fungal or bacterial infection. This will likely temporarily affect your hearing and may make your hearing sound muffled in the affected ear.
These include common entities such as middle ear infection and uncommon ones such as otosclerosis, which hardens the tiny ear bones or ossicles. Another, rare, cause of tinnitus from the middle ear that does not result in hearing loss is muscle spasms of one of the two tiny muscles in the ear. In this case, the tinnitus can be intermittent and at times, the examiner can also hear the sounds. Most subjective tinnitus associated with the hearing system originates in the inner ear.
