Unblocking ear/eustachian tube
Posted , 29 users are following.
I have had this problem over and over for years - always the right ear is worse or the only one. Have given up most dairy, have a good diet.
Have taken lots of different antibiotics etc and nose sprays and none of it helps. Now the antibiotics I take also give me a bad stomach and headaches etc Feel worse than ever. Have tried the various breathing techniques , yawning etc none of it works. Got an ear popper which relieves it a bit but then it is bac\k to square one.

I have had terribly clogged ears for 8 days now and missing too much work,plus with my tinnitus/hyperaccousis I'm about to lose my mind and get a panic attack as nothing so far has worked. Anyone else get stressed out like this, it's the worse one yet usually only lasts about 3 days this one much longer. I am 62 and in otherwise good health...Help.

Hi Rikki, Since getting the flu I've had a very blocked ear. I was about to have a tube inserted yesterday but decided against it. I'm going to try and get it to clear...will do it as a last resort though. I'm so sorry about your tinnitus - I have white noise constantly because of the fluid, on top of pulsatile tinnitus. I am trying not to stress about it, but it's hard not to. I find researching on-line and trying different remedies gives me some control and makes me feel less desperate. All the best.

Hi Michael. Yes I've tried acupuncture and osteopathy. No luck. I was recently diagnosed with LPR (Silent Reflux), which I believe has been the cause of many of my issues. It can affect ears, throat, phlegm, globus, post nasal drip, throat clearing, etc. The acupuncture didn't work for me nor the osteopathic treatment. I'm now trying diet and lifestyle changes. It's so different for everyone, so acupuncture might work for you. Worth a try.
