hello i am a 28 year old male and have had the fullness sensation in my ear that comes and goes 5 to 10 times a day and it feels like it need to be popped but there is nothing i can do about it. so far i have tried sterioid packs twice, steroid nasal sprays, antihistamines, antibiotics, multiple natural exercises, b vitamins, i have had an eartube put in and it helped me clear the problem until it fell out, i had eustation tube balloon dialation procedure done nothing will work. if i suck in my ear drum really hard sometimes this high pich sound of air entering my inner ear give me a small amount of relief for a shot period. this has been going in for years and i have tried every procedure that i can think of please help.

    You could have Patulous Eustachian tube in that ear. One of the complications from balloon dilation is that the Eustachian tube gets opened too much and doesn't close like it should. This causes a fullness in the ear. Do you hear your own breathe or voice?

    Try a nasal stinging, it helps inflame the Eustachian and may help it close.

    Mix 4 teaspoons of salt with 1 cup of warm water. Lie face up at the edge of your bed and extend the neck off the side at a 15 degree angle. Apply 4-5 drops in the nostril of the affected side and immediately drop your head 45 degrees to the floor. It stings like crazy but should radiate your ear. Do this 2-3 times a day for 2 months.
