Ive had this ear discomfort for at least 5 years in my left ear. It feels like something is there right ehere the inner ear and nose meet. Nasal sprays and ear drops give temporary relief but nothing permanent. ENT doctor says everything is fine, even stuck the camera up into my sinuses and found nothing but I know somethings up. Any ideas? Thank you

    Hi , IM Reece and im a 17 year old female. I've had the exact same problem for about 3 weeks. I went to the ENT yesterday and they couldn't find anything. He subscribed nasal spray but it doesn't work. My guess is that the eustachian tube is blocked ,not allowing any sound to travel to your middle ear.

    Can you explain the ear discomfort - does anything make it worse or better? Does your ear feel full or blocked? Do you clean your ears with cotton bud every few weeks? Can you try washing your ears out or putting wax softening drops in incase there is a hair in there that is irritating the canal. Could it be referred pain from your teeth/grinding or back and neck?

    I'm having something similar on my right ear. Its like a pressure, this happened after a vestibular problem.
