Hi, I have eustachian tube dysfunction for 2 years now! It started with a cold and my ears still ring and crackle every time I swallow. Before the cold no ringing no crackling and my hearing was perfect. After the cold they ring and crackle for 2 years and counting. I was also dizzy for months and had the vestibular test where air is blown in the ear and my right ear was not responding / didn't make me dizzy. Now years later I get random loss of hearing in one ear where my hearing goes way down and its very noticeable usually the ringing will intensify slightly then it goes back to its normal ringing self but I can hear much better in about 15 to 20 seconds. This happens randomly at random times and some days it doesn't happen. It happens in my right and left ear. I can't say how frequently it just happens sometimes. Its always just the one ear goes down then back up. Anyone else experience this strange phenomenon with their ETD? Thank you.
