    Hi Karen,

    First thing, don't be scared. You're going to be okay. It definitely sounds like an eustachian tube or inner ear problem . You need to see an ENT. They have special equipment to look at your ear drum, sinuses, and the eustachian tubes.

    It sounds like you could have fluid behind your eardrum . This would explain the hearing loss, dizziness, and pressure. I'm just guessing though.

    My teen daughter has eustachisn tube dysfunction and had fluid behind both ear drums. Her ENT had to use a microscope to see the fluid behind her ears (I got to see this on a monitor.) He also used a scope to verify that her eustachian tubes were completely flattened.

    She tried nasal spray for 2 months and it did not work.

    She ended up getting ear tubes put in and her ears suctioned 2 weeks ago.

    She is still recovering, but a lot of her symptoms are much better.

    Hang in there!
