Anyone else start experiencing extreme anxiety/panic once you started having ear problems? I’ve never suffered from anxiety but I’m thinking that my anxiety/panic & ETD is connected. Once my ears start feeling funny, my anxiety/panic is up.
Yes absolutely. It’s like my anxiety is the cause sometimes. Which inflates the anxiety. It also im happens when I’m more physically active, lifting heavy objects. Inhaling through my nose is when it starts.
100%, I actually drove myself to the ER once because I was convinced I was having a stroke or something. I was fine, we’ll except my ear is all jacked up.
Yes I have noticed this big time.
Yes, unfortunately.
How are your ears now? I think I have this now. It happened when I went to grab coffee and due to allergy season. Came back after my coffee and noticed my hearing was slight off on my left. I started to panic and it felt like my symptoms got worse from anxiety. My inner ear feels warm so I'm using and ice pack to see if that will calm the inner ear or any inflammatory. Have any of you guys felt the same warm sensation? Also I noticed my balance feels slightly off/dizziness.
Yes. I have suffered from panic attacks for years. I had not experienced one for such a long time until my ears felt clogged, foggy head and tinnitus. Absolute hell as anyone who suffers from anxiety would understand. Resolving itself now slowly. The battles continues...
Me too!😢
Yeah, same here
Yes!
same . i had a flu and then suddenly my ear hurts , my doctor said its otitis media. the symptoms, the out of tune music i hear now, i sometimes hear my own breathing, the occasional poppingand crackling sound, i cant even hear my own voice, ITS SO ANXIETY INDUCING. i cant live like like this. i just want this to stop. I FEEL YOU.
Amen
This is one of the most informative videos I have seen on YT. Now I need to look at your links for relieving my issue.
I found your videos after jumping on a plane with a sinus infection and getting ETD that would not leave me alone days after getting off the plane. I picked up an Eustachi and INSTANT relief. Thanks a lot!
You picked up an Eustachi, what in the world does that mean?
@@gracebcct it is mentioned in the video, some sort of a tool. 6:10
Got a tube in months ago for chronic ear infections/ETD. Worked, but as soon as it fell out back to square one. Ear Dr. for warned me that I’d likely have to get tubes a few more times before insurance would pay for the operation I really need.
Recently finished a 37 year career in flying, and often times had problems clearing my ears. Wish I would have known then what I know, and could have done something about it in the way of prevention. The folks who taught us Aerospace Physiology in the USAF should have seen this. Thanks for the info!
My doggy never sleeps on the bed but yesterday night we had horrible weather that made her scared. Let her sleep with me and she cuddled around my head..... woke up to both ears inflamed.... I'm glad it's just an allergic reaction!!!
The Eustachian tube is an amazing bit of “engineering”. One of its main jobs is to equalise the pressure on both sides of your ear-drum which means that your hearing is very accurate at all pressures and altitudes. Without it your hearing would be less sensitive as your eardrum would need to be much stronger to withstand the pressure difference; at high or low pressures your hearing would probably stop working as your eardrum would be stretched almost to its limits and it could eventually burst. We use the same principle in pressure sensors (gauge type), microphones and loudspeakers.
Wow, this really sucks for me. I have been getting tubes in both ears for over 20 years. Now I have permanent holes in both ear drums which means I no longer need tubes. I needed HA instead. For years I would ask my ENT about any procedures to keep my Eust. tube opened. The answer was always not yet. If the Tuboplasty had come out a few years sooner it may have made a huge difference for me.
Hi, Thanks for this! Question: Which do you think is more effective - the Eustachi or the Earpopper? I'm flying soon and need to get the one that works best. I'd really appreciate it if you could answer ASAP! Thank you!
This video has just led me to discovering a eustachian massage tecnique which worked instantly! I can't believe it but I am so happy, the ringing in my left ear has gone for the time being!! If it comes back ill just try this again...
Eustachian tube massage
Use your finger to find a bony bump behind your ear lobe. Using firm, steady pressure, slide your finger down until you feel a groove between your ear lobe and jaw. Trace that groove all the way down your neck to your collarbone using the same firm pressure. Repeat this process three times on each side, three times a day.
@@askesu you are right, mate. It didn't work in the long run.
Good info, Dr Cliff. I have Baro ETD, and your ear popping techniques work well for me. Thanks!
I have always had problems with ear pain and my ears getting blocked. Once for two years. Eustaci has been a life saver solving my ear blocking problems. This ear pain comes at the end of the day and is strong. I got something to try called eardoc. It uses vibrations to clear🎉 the Eustachian tube I do think the second scenario in this video is my problem. This channel has really helped me. When my ears were blocked the doctors looked in my ear and said “no infection” l left with no solution for two years not hearing out of one ear. I bought some ear amplifiers but ultimately the solution was found here. Thank you for that. I don’t need the amplifiers.
I suffering with hear loss from last 3 years and have seen 4 doctors.. no have have solution for my problem.. I don’t understand American doctors have no solution..
Great explanation and result. Now can you add your chest workout routine please
Anyone have the symptoms of sharp pain in lymph nodes in the neck under armpits along with this problematic blockage of Eustachian tubes?
Had this problem while doing cardio in New Mexico. Went away after leaving. Must have been a combination of the altitude and dehydration.
Born half deaf in one ear and some hearing loss in the other. Had eustachian tube dysfunction for 5 straight days so far. no true popping or return to normal just got the diagnosis today from my doctor. It's heck on me right now as my hearing has taken a temporary down shift to just about everything sounding like a muffled mess.
How are you now?
@@GeshTorresgot shot in my ear happening to me
so informative! thanks
So glad i saw these comments. Over the past 5 years been to my docs many times- ear ache, fullness in the ears, especially my right one.Headaches, dizziness, off balance , sending my anxiety through the roof! Each time doc said i had no infection, just take pain relief. I could hear and feel something going on in my ears, felt crazy! Had covid this Christmas , followed by a bad cold, ears , nose totally blocked .Again doc said no infection, just rest.Lost weeks off work due to symptoms - so dizzy and anxious. Am trying the drainage system now as i am desperate to feel ME again.
Did it help?
I had the same thing happen last year and lost 75% of my hearing in my left ear spent almost a month on antibiotics and a week on steroids nothing helped. The CAT scan revealed everything on the left side was almost completely blocked. The Dr told me that it would eventually get reabsorbed by my body and to use Simply Saline to thin out the mucus it took months for it to finally open up but every time I get a cold I worry the same thing will happen again.

I’ve had ear pain since August 2023. Severe dizziness where I felt drunk, couldn’t stand in the shower and severe balance problems. Went to urgent care and they said no infection but you got some bug. Got on antibiotics. Took them and they didn’t help. Than my left eye sucker went numb. Went back to urgent care and cuz of the numbness they sent me to ER and they said I might have a tumor. I knew it was a clogged ear. ER doctor looked in my ear, he said yep you have severe ear infection. They did an CT scan too rule out tumor. They sent me home with more antibiotics and vertigo medication. 3 months later saw my ENT doctor. Told her what was going on. She said ok let’s see if you have vertigo and she gave me some test. Of course I passed. I knew it wasn’t vertigo cuz I’m not spinning I just can’t stand up or balance. Than she did a hearing test on me. Of course pass. She than said nothing is wrong. Well I still don’t feel good and I feel like there’s lots of toilet paper stuck in my ear, plus last Thursday after I took a sudafed my whole left side of my face is numb. From my ear all the way down my neck. I take aller tec for my seasonal allergies and just got on nascort
I lost my insurance last month and fighting to get it back. I’m sick of dealing with this for 7 months now. I’ve tried taking a deep breath and and plugging my nostrils and blowing out of my nose. I can hear my ears POP and than they close again.
I don’t know any other hollistic things to do. I can’t afford to go to the doctor. But the numbness is scaring me.
Me too... I'm really tired

That was the best video I've seen in this topic. Thank you!
Thabk you for this video I have the last one. Only when I fly it hurts sooooo much so etimes my eardrums start to microbleeding. Did you try the esrpopper devices while flying? My doc doesnt know these
I’ve had something like this for three years and it comes and goes but never fully goes away
Doc I got a new pair of Re Sound OMNIA 9 they are very nice . The doctor I got them from does not have the proper wax rings for the OMNIA . They are in short supply . I having to take the tiny wax out and clean it and use again.
My fren is suffering the symptom n m so worried..thanks for the video n information ..
Dr. Cliff- Is it safe to use the Eustachi, Ear Popper, when you are on the plane or only when you are on the ground?
Can a Neti Pot (squeezable) cause fluid in the ears? Can water travel from the sinus to the middle ear?
What about the pros & cons of saline sinus flushes?
Dr Cliff l, I have some patients needing to stop CPAP therapy due to ear pain. Do you think that’s due to a blocked Eustachian tube? Dropping the pressure can help, but that might be at the expense of treatment. Thank you!
Is it possible to pass liquid from nose to middle ear through eustachian tube during valsalva maneuver
I keep having pain in my eustian tube, doc sent me In yesterday for ct scan i have had mastoidectomy surgery on both ears left ear keeps getting ear infections currently infection been on going since dec, last one lasted 1.5 years. Doc de la cruz from the house ear clinic did my surgeries back in 92-96
Another useful video Dr Cliff. My experience of obstructive ETD in one ear ultimately resulted in hearing loss due to (according to my ENT Doctor) an infection of the inner ear / cochlea.
When I first noted the ETD and spoke with my own general practice doctor nasal spray and Eustachi were recommended with the comment that it can take a long time (weeks to months) to clear. Apparently not always the right course of action to leave this condition too long according to the ENT specialist. His advice was get specialist advice ASAP as inner ear infection can lead to hearing loss!
You're actually not wrong there
Yes, my friend's husband suffered permanaent hearing loss in one ear from not receiving prompt medical care for an ear infection.
@@barbaras.5545 Ah that's rather unfortunate
I think I lost my hearing too I’m so sad because I love music and I’m afraid I’m gonna permanently lose it because I took to long to go to the doctor
Yes! Extreme anxiety.
Very useful!
I’ve been trying to get relief for my ETD for 20 years. I have muffled hearing and a constant ‘whooshing’ in my right ear. I’ve learned to live with it, but I’m definitely going to try one (or all!) of these products because in two decades of visits to multiple ENTs who dismissed my symptoms, I was never told there were OTC options that could possibly help. Thanks for the info, Doctor!
let us know if it worked, I also have chronic ETD-like symptoms
Did it work? I have a bad cold and blew my nose and have extremely muffled right ear. I'm concerned it's been days
The Whooshing is brutal!! Very painful click/clap too… sooo many noises and different pain levels
Any update???
I feel ear fullness in my right ear for sometime when I swallow water and other liquids from 6 months.
Do the first type of the eustachian tube dysfunction which u mentioned cause hearing loss?
Thank you.
Do you think the Eustachi Middle Ear Exerciser can possibly help with this?
Thank you
Probably a silly question Dr Cliff, but does Moore’s Law or a similar study apply to hearing loss?
Thanks so much for this overview. Is the tubeplasty performed under sedation or with a local anesthetic? Can dizziness/disorientation from ETD be treated with valium or klonopin? Thanks again.
Nope nothing works. I'm getting crippling headaches from it
During a cold, ear feels like it needs to be popped. Plug nose and pop out. But it won't pop back in, making it much more uncomfortable than even initially. Can take a long time to return to normal. ETD?
I wonder if living in a high altitude area can cause chronic ETD I never had problems with this until I moved here.
I’ve experienced vertigo and dizziness and my primary mentioned ETD. She said there’s a technique that may help cure it but she doesn’t do it anymore because patients may experience bad nausea. Can you help with this?
I had ETD caused by flying with a bad cold. Ears wee stopped up for 3 days after I landed, I finally went to the ER. My ENT warned that noone, even a healthy non-sick person, should ever take off without a decongestion like a Sudafed pill already working! (Also, NEVER fly with a bad cold). I always take mine after I get through my gate, and I stay well-hydrated during the flight. On a long flight, I pop another 30 minutes before we descend. My ETD was a long, expensive, painful struggle. I advise you to never fly while ill. It can be a nightmare.
I am experiencing that now, my ears I so clogged it’s been a month! I had no idea not to travel with congestion
I flew last year not knowing I had Covid. The descent hurt my right ear so bad
Hi, I've treated an ear infection 5 months ago but my ear still feels full, please help...?😢
Can I ask you what are your sources for possible causes of patent Eustachian tube. I’ve never seen the chewing gum, dehydration, nasal decongestants etc anywhere and I’d like to have some proof since that’s what I have done and I seem to have it now
After taking Clairitan, Sudafed, heating pad, ice pad; nothing worked. The pain was so bad I took after surgery meds like oxycodin!! Then I ordered a humidifier from Amazon for $45. bucks, got distilled water from Wal-Mart....used for 2 days and 2 nights. All pain gone!!! I'm completely HEALED!!!!😅my doctor had no cure.
Did you have ear pain and throat pain while swallowing coughing and yawning? I'm trying to see what helps cos sleeping is a pain and I'm taking nurofen liquid capsules and a nasal spray for antihistimines. Just seeing if you had the same symptoms as me
Has anyone been on TRT prior to hearing loss and/or tinnitus? I got on TRT about 3 months prior to my event and curious if that had an effect.
I just had a (pretty bad) cold and now there is a feeling of fullnes sin my left ear, and I can keep popping it but when I do it hurts very badly. I hope this heals on its own.
Did it help?
Did eventually get better? This happened to me, too - it’s been a week and not getting better. Lowry method causes a sharp pain..
@@jessbrown8632 Yes! It lasted a little under a week for me and was terrible because I couldn't do things like yawn without sharp pain. But fortunately, it's completely gone now and I would assume yours will (hopefully!) go away soon as well.
If it means anything, it didn't progressively get better, it just dissapeared for me(which might still happen for you)
@@jessbrown8632 I also took strong decongestants. I think they helped a little bit, but they were never caused my ear pain to go away completely
Hey journey in the video u talk about how you reversed it.... How did you beat it?
I always get crazy brain freeze/pain in my right ear. I tried phenergan but it didn't help. The positional vertigo cleared up.
I have had this over a year just about to get tubes soon
Help needed-I was in a car accident 30 days ago my car was hit hard and the air bags above my head left side went off as well as the seats-I was not to seriously hurt except for my left arm and hearing in my left ear from airbags or hitting the door window-when I open or close my estatistician tube on left ear makes a weird electronic sound like a video game chirp-also when I hold a phone to my left ear the voices sound like high pitch Minnie mouse voices-I do not notice that much when regular conversation-I went to a ENT doctor who checked my hearing and they just said give it some time-I am going to find another ENT Dr. that may specialize in hearing with more understanding-any info here forwarded to me will greatly help me out-Thanks you-
Hi, I have ETD and my doctor has offered tuboplasty but said it’s only 50/50 whether it will work or not. At £7000 I decided not too. I have an earpopper so my question is should I use this everyday as it doesn’t seem to make a difference to the fullness feeling in my ears. I’m a singing and I’m conscious of not being able to hear high frequencies. Thank you for your video. 🙏🏻
I was wondering the same thing because since this version of disfunction is the tube staying OPEN in not sure how to get it to close back. I think the ear poppers are made more for closed tubes?
mine has been giving me issues for about 6 years now, i have a squishy sound if i push below my ear, its weird, my tube is so clogged
Thanx
I’ve had ear pain and tinnitus since I flew back from work at the start of July, the doctors/NHS in Scotland are awful. I should have to watch a CZcams video to figure what’s wrong with me lol thank you 😊
Same, I went to NHS England and the lady was evil. So dismissive and vile, she spoke to me like I was wasting her time
I got tinnitus and extreme ear pain on a short holiday flight in 1993. Hearing loss soon followed.
Dr. Cliff, this was very well done, and I think you may have figured out what is happening in my ears. I had one suggestion that would make this video better. Watch yourself in this tape. Do you see how much you bounce around? It is terribly distracting and even nervous-making.
Try taking Afrin nasal spray right before the flight. Also take Sudafed about an hour before the flight. Right before the plane starts to descend take Afrin again. Chew gum. Drink liquids as much as possible.
Cab it happen in both ears. I have pain in both ear one worse but I didn't think ears are connected.
I have chronic tinnitus ear pain, clicking popping sensation.
MRI showed up nothing and I'm waiting on a second opinion from ENT specialist because the 1st was not listening to me
I don't have any pain involved, but I do have a feeling similar to a change of altitude. However, it comes and goes, and usually, i have the feeling and hearing loss when I wake up in the morning. Sometimes, it goes away by mid-morning or day or lasts till the next day . I have never had allergies, I'm not sick , like with cold or something. The hearing loss bothers me the most it's like having earplugs in . Any ideas ? Also I'm 72 years old with hearing loss .
Mine like to do that almost every time they have a good drain. They burn like hell and it feels like a rock is trying to go down. Then they burn when I cry, so I try not to. I just figure that’s normal as it’s always been like that.
Can’t wait to see video to maybe finally find out if it’s normal maybe.
its really tough being in pain and not being able to cry because it increases the pain
I developed ETD in my right ear about a month ago. This is the ear that would always act up when I was a kid, getting infected about 3 times. I had been snorting 2 Oxy’s a day up my left nostril for the last 5 months or so and on Thanksgiving I woke up with hearing loss in my right ear. At first I thought it was from ototoxicity in my ear canals from the painkillers but the ENT said my ear drum was picking up sound at a normal range. Taking mucinex and Zyrtec helps it not be as pressurized and muffled, but doesn’t fix it by any means. Wondering what they’re going to tell me when I go back in next Wednesday for the follow up appointment. I’m starting to get really scared that I’m going to be stuck like this forever and never be able to enjoy music again at only 29 years old.
Hi, how are you now?
@@GeshTorres went to the ENT on December 20th and she removed a decent amount of wax from my ear and it made my hearing come all the way back. But I stopped doing the Flonase and Zyrtec because I forgot to as my hearing was back but 2 days ago I slowly felt the Eustachian tube not being able to pop very well again and I had to start the allergy medicine again. It’s slowly clearing it up again it feels like. But I will say the wax contributed a pretty big amount to my initial hearing loss. Now it’s definitely annoying but not borderline debilitating.
Please tell me solutions
Can it affect the palat?
Developed after getting braces is that normal???
I have etd symptoms in my left ear for 3 years now, without hearing loss. Got a tube 8 months ago, but seems my ear fullness remained, although the popping is less.
Got etd symptoms inf right ear 9 months ago, after forcefully trying to pop my ear with the Valsalva maneuver. I have done so much research including TMD research, CT scans, MRI-scans, jaw physio, etc. None can see what is wrong. I am almost never able to pop my right ear, and don't want to overdo it as it may worsen the problems potentially. I really don't know what to do about it anymore.
what do ent doctors say is your solution? did u try ear popper? or other methods?
@@bestcomment3589 I'm at a point where the doctors don't really know anymore what is wrong. They stick to ETD, although they don't know how to fix it.
Every time I ask if it can be something else like a fistula, hearing loss in lower frequencies, inner ear damage, patulous tube, etc. they always say it can't be that because I would have other symptoms with the biggest one being detectable hearing loss. I didn't try the ear popper, i am bit scared it can still cause more problems like the valsalva did.
@@RezzGaming what problem did this valsalvas tech cause you?
@@bestcomment3589 The valsalva caused my etd problem: fullness, tinitus and popping in ear the ear.
@@RezzGaming please say again cuz valsalva helped your made it bad?
I am a musician and recently have been having ear pain and HYPER sensitivity to even normal noise levels... I have ear fullness 24/7. If i yawn/swallow/or even just open and close my jaw I hear a clicking in my ears.. kind of like fluid moving who knows..... being a musician the pain and or fear of is driving me nuts... u think this is liek hearing loss/pre-tinnitus?
Trying to figure out balance and tinnitus problems...
I never ever have pain in my ear BUT whenever I yawn or drink fast my left ear pops CONSTANTLY. I don’t know what to do. I went to urgent care and they didn’t say much. Currently I’m trying to go to sleep but my left ear is popped/muffled and I hear my own voice.
I have obstruction issues that are really bad when I sing. I've also been diagnosed with precancerous thyroid cells. Someone told me it's possible that the ear problems go with thyroid cancer. Anyone else have these problems?
Every time I get sick and congested my ears won’t pop and I can’t hear when I try to pop them I hear and feel so much fluid swishing and clicking 😢
I have had this for 12 days. I flew and had the cold from hell. Doctors have no time for you anymore. I guess i need to cure this on my own.
Warm water....and more warm water! Gargle with it (even with salt) and drink warm water (no salt!). I had super thick mucous after a bad cold and it started clogging my eustachian tubes. Warm water was so helpful to loosen it and relax that area so it could drain. See a doctor as soon as you to check it out!!!
@@stevecrockett6619 Thanks. I’ll try anything at this point. Everything is still clogged and the doctor can’t see me for another 2 weeks. May also get the Nettie pot out and also try warm water in my ear cleaning bulb.
Try heating pad..set on medium..
Did you get relief? Can it go aromatic?
@@Super_Cricket_Edits no i have my second trip to the ENT this week. Maybe its time for tubes.
What I have is clicking when I talk, it clicks several times a sentence in my ear. Any help please?
I have had this for as long as i can remember! Mine is caused by allergies!
So putting tubes in is not an option?
Has anyone hear echoes as well? I hear echoes in my right ear for 3 days already. I went to the ent and had a hearing test. Idk what to do
Hi I’ve had a bad cold for two weeks now can’t seem to budge it and the tinitus symptom comes and goes in my left ear 😬?
These are my exact symptoms and with muffled hearing. Are you better now?
I've recently been experiencing the 'Eustachian Tube Click' whenever I do a small internal burp. It's only in the left ear.
C-PAP might be causung my symptoms.
My ENT pretty much dismissed my complaint about pressure in 1 ear, even after suctioning the wax. He had me do a hearing test and told me my hearing in that ear had really worsened over 4 yrs. Of course a5vthat moment! He referred me for a MRI and a neurologist! NO!
I have now let it go for 6 months,but cannot stand it-- the pressure, ringing, chirp with every tug,swallow,yawn that cause a cough&tickle in my throat. Plus, that ear canal is always wet.
I believe my C-PAP machine has something to do with this AND that I ALWAYS sleep on that side.
I will not fly until this is resolved.
I cannot wait to see a different ENT in about a month.
I have had a long history of wax build up and Debrox does not help. Suction (in ENT's office) does. Except not this time.
Do you also experience tinnitus? I'm having similar issues as what you're experiencing.
I tried all of this and it's never got better. If anyone has tried anything else that's worked for long term plugged eustation tubes, please share it.
So the Eustachian Tube is named after some Italian & not a station on the London Underground?
I’ve had ETD for 2 years now after getting a sinus infection whilst on a road trip. Lots of changes in elevation plus forest fire smoke. Anyways, it’s been ok to live with but sucks. I just had bilateral Eustachian tube balloon dilation 2 weeks ago and have seen no benefits from the procedure. Idk what to do at this point
That fucking sucks dude. I’ve been dealing with it for about a month now. Really hoping it’ll go away, have a follow up appointment with an ENT in 5 days. Kind of have a scary feeling I’m stuck like this forever.
I started getting extreme ear pain and hearing loss!
TMJ causes ETD too
Ive had problems for over 10 years and even longer having pain in the neck and upper throat for many years giving me feeling of ear infections when there is none....6 months ago I came across a video of putting 5 drops hydrogen peroxide in the ear canal for 5 minutes doing this 3 times a day for 3 days and periodically has cleared it all up and Ive had no issues ever since....If my ear or in the upper neck gets sore I do it and it goes again...The hydrogen peroxide goes through the ear drum if you swallow while it being in your ear you can actually feel it going through...It works and has liberated me from many years of constant pain!!
Did it not sting your inner ear. I've considered the same thing but with isopropyl
@@markroberts4526 no not at all …Hydrogen peroxide is a form of oxygen …it bubbles in the ear goes through the ear drum and runs down your canal into your throat…It kills infection behind the ear drum it’s amazing….isn’t isopropyl a form of alcohol? That could be worrying
Which kind of ETD you have?
QUESTION: I am 66 and have had extreme issues with my ears my entire life. I have horrible Tinnitus and get pressure from my ears down the sides of my neck so bad if I bend over it feels like my neck is going to explode. I have vertigo so bad that I keep medication always and take it every where I go. I cannot even ride in a car after dark because of the vertigo. I had a car wreck many years ago that I hit my head and that made it even worse. The pressure from my neck to my ears gets better then worse over and over Is This A Blockage or Allergies.?
Those symptoms sound like occipital neuralgia.
Very good. My doctor is the best in my town and all she could do was refer me to an ear specialist who was only interested in "looking for a ruptured eardrum". After tests he said it was ETD and prescribed the otovent balloon and a steroid spray. This has helped stop severe pain attacks in my ear but 2 days without it and it's bad news. So annoyed as it wasn't a cure and he didn't care. I've been given a lousy coping mechanism. This guy and doctor berg really know their stuff. I'll be treating it with doctor berg's suggested genuine remedies.
Mines caused by radiators if i forget to turn it off when i sleep
Some people have a tumor that causes that too
I been dealing with my ear’s constantly being clogged for several months. I was supposed to have surgery but unfortunately my insurance won’t cover the cost. And I also have a deviated septum in both nostrils. And I’m always off balance and dizzy like all the time. It drives me insane. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and videos. Should I try the ear popper to get fluid out of my ear? I’m fighting my insurance company to pay for my balloon sinuplasty surgery. But I’m going insane please help me.
Hope you're doing well. How is your condition now? I have this issue with both ears. At times I feel like I'm going insane just thinking about it. My hearing comes and goes and for the most part I recover then another episode occurs down the line. I noticed the pattern and I'm afraid it might get worse as I get older. I hope you're condition has gotten better🙏
Dang. Are you in America? In Canada this would’ve been free to deal with you just wait awhile sometimes but a year of waiting in non-emergency isn’t too bad.
Awesome! I can fix my problem.....by surgery 🤪not so awesome. Was hoping for something natural that would help naturally 🤷♀️
I had a stapedectomy & during my recovery it seemed like my hearing was coming back in a garbled way but then I got a horrible cold & coughed deeply for a few days. After that, my ear went dead. I had 2 Catscans from 2 different Drs & neither one could see the prosthesis that replaced my stapes. After watching your Eustachian video, my question is: Is it possible it came dislodged from that heavy coughing & traveled down the Eustachian tube & I swallowed it? I am totally deaf in that ear.
How did you fix
I'm sorry you are going thru this. It's sad at the lack of good Dr's there are out here . ENTs that is. At least in my area
How are you? Get well soon
I have been suffering with eustachian tube blockage causing large chunks of bloody and green mucus and no ENT can figure it out !! Crazy huh
I looked in my ear with a cam 📷 and saw nothing but a black drum however my doctor said its full of black wax 😮 i have had tinitus and feeling of full ear for years what is wrong here ? Its driving me mad
I have it now
I often increase the audio speed to x 1.5 but for you I hsd to decrease it to x 0.5
I'm self diagnosing but it seems like it's the eustachian tube. I can feel pain deep in the ear when swallowing spit/water, yawning and coughing and when I'm eating it's only the left side of my throat hurting. (all the pain is left side only) not sure what it is but I'm taking liquid nurofen tablets that worked for 2 days really well and now it does nothing.
how to deal with tight Eustachian Tube
I have ETD. I have been suffering from negative air pressure in my left ear since long and I feel very trouble to talk. I cannot talk loudly and freely. Sometimes feel better to talk when it seems to me that my Eustachian tube is working slightly better. What sort of ETD is this? Why I feel pain to talk. Why I cannot talk loudly?
I have the same symptom in my left ear, did yours get better?
Could you pls give an update?I'm so worry these days
what to do about Diplacusis harmonicus?
Diplacusis is awful. I had diplacusis harmonica a couple of months back. It hasn't entirely gone yet either. Was wondering if It can also be a symptom of ETD? which brought me here.
@@reelproductions6298 if its a mechanical problem. its likely treatable. if nureal sensory. its likely not.
4:35 ear tube will "naturally work its way out over time."
Or, you wake up one morning with 15-level pain (on a scale of 1 to 10) and your pillow looking like that bloody horse scene from the Godfather.
This was in 1991. In the 80s, ENTs were putting tubes in ears to every kid who got a few ear infections.
Yeah, I changed Dr for my kid, who tried to scare me into getting tubes for her. The other Dr, said, keep her out of nursery groups and she should outgrow it… and we did.
