Hi i have ETD for about a year, I've tried everything to open it up, all has failed! 3 months ago i started having motion sickness due to the closed Eustachian tube. ETD is ruining every single aspect of my life! I'm done with the sprays and antihistamines and all the ents send that doesn't work. 

has anyone had Eustachian tube balloon dilation? Can you please share experience and recovery?

      Thank you do let me know if it works ,I'm just about out of ideas,,what I didn't know was that you get allergies inside your ears ,,mines definatley got far worse ,longer I've had it ,had allergies now nearly 9 years ,but has gotten worse over time,then to add this balance began out of the blue .I often get sore throats along with ear ache,so it's all linked up ,I've got eczema have you ,again allergy related.So it's all ENT based.

      Hi don't think it's Menieres ,as that stops and starts ,mines every day all day ,plus I've got tinnitus ,also neck ach,more noticeable when my tinnitus on the low side ,worst of my balance days,since I've been up on this I Pad. Can't believe how many people are affected by this condition ,pretty bad from what I've been reading ,wish we could get tha answer for it to be gone. And we can straighten up  .No fun trying to walk in a straight line ,most miserable condition to have .No answer to it .Drs must have it also somewhere.
