Eustachian tubes unblocked?

Posted , 4 users are following.

Can I ask what to some may think is silly ( but I was once told that a question is only scilly/stupid if you don’t know the answer!)

the ? After 9 weeks of tubes blocked & no movement I now have itchy ears, then it feels like there’s something crawling in one of them, is this a good sign that at least one is about to unblock?

(on a lighter note I asked my hubby what he thought... he gave me a look & said maybe an earwig got into it off the pillowcase that was on the line drying 😳 & went off laughing, great 😂wink Thank u in advance

    Yes it's a good sign. I also had no movement for at least 4 months couldn't even blow my nose nothing moved at all I also had the itching in my ears and then they started to pop and crackle after nearly 6 years and grommets they still pop and

    Crackle but beats blocked up.also get a sensation that something is crawling over my eardrums. Wish you well.

    One ENT specialist told me I have ETD.Two others told me I haven't got it & have got  Xrays & MRI to prove it.A fourth  says he doesn't  know & has no clue where to send me.All I know is that I have enormous pressure in my head & ears which affects my balance & hearing.It's like having a ball in my head thats' being over inflated.ANY IDEAS anyone ??????
