Eustachian Tube Dysfunction ETD Exercises and Massage. If you suffer from clogged ears that feel plugged or a fullness that is difficult to clear, this video and my ETD Q&A video are great places to start. A lot of people report muffled hearing, popping or clicking in the ears or even have tinnitus or ringing in the ears that has been helped by these simple exercises focused on eustachian tube dysfunction.
I am often asked if people should fly in a airplane with ETD and the inability to clear their ears with altitude. This can sometimes result in pain in the ears and even damage. So, proceed with caution and perform these ear exercises 2 times per day.

Here is a link to the 2006 study on an acupuncture point that helps with tinnitus:

The directions for this point in the study were “The ACP point used in the patients in the Study Group is located 6.5 cm above the apex of the ear in the temporo-parietal region.”
I mention OIL PULLING in the video. This is to help pull mucus away from the nasopharynx where the opening of your Eustachian Tube is and it’s helped a lot of my patients. This oil is a bit pricey but it works so well: https://amzn.to/2wlnzxp

Wow, your ETD videos are great – and the only thing that helped where lots of general and ENT doctors failed. Excellent work, thank you very much!
Great video, thank you! Also, daaamn are you single? 😂
I have had this ear kinda plug thing where i have a heartbeat in my ears both sides most the time on my right…
Also i had bad head covid cupl yeRs ago and never really unpluged from that tho i had alot of type hard grissle mucas come out thru my throat .. gross sorry but ya… I think from the keft side and us why right has not unplugged and then allgery comes abd here comes the heart beats srives me insane. I saw your video and will start after i write this in a week i will do a review of how well or not this gas worked for me plus my son has had seasonal vertigo all summer into now winter we will do these with him. Wish me luck!!! Oh n i have had tinnitus with this as well …
i've found some of these techniques helped me after years of pain etc since having a mastoidectomy
Oh thank you the circular massage on my ears cleared me up I can hear all thought no liquid came but my ear popped back and my hearing is back
My ears have been clogged for about 4 or 5 months driving me absolutely mad. I have serious white coat syndrome & unless I believe im actually dying at the moment I cannot bring myself to go in. I cannot believe this actually just gave me some relief!!!!! 😮😢 I actually have a tickle in the back of the ear/throat area because its been full so long & now I can feel!!! 😆
Wow I can't believe it worked!!! Don't know for how long but my ear is not clogged anymore…been clogged for yrs.
First of all Thank you so much for this straight video. My ears are now well. What's the best for this video is it is straight to the point. I saved thousands of pesos by just following and applying this video. If my ears are still not feeling well, I should have undergone nasal endoscopy worth P10,000 only to check the problem. The author really deserves a gazillion thanks.
I had ear fullness issues and debilitating pressure/pain in my right ear due to Covid HV.1 and began looking for immediate relief. This video jumped out at me and I’m glad I took my time to relax and follow instructions with exactness. I felt instant relief. Thank you!! ❤
Can someone help? I’ve had blocked ears for 5 months, sometimes pain not always. Then I hear thumping noises ! No one can help me I’ve been investigating for months with no resolution! These exercises help but then my symptoms return
I was in a similar condition since 2020, I survived Covid19 and I had loss of tastes and smell including constant ear ringing and dizziness until I was recommended to dr Liam ogbebor herbal centre on YouTube , As long as you stick to the prescription of his herbal treatment,you'll feel better soon enough. I haven't had a bad day in months, I have noticed great reduction in my ear ringing and dizziness, and i have my taste and smell back ,I am feeling all better now😊

I have no words, i wasnt able to sleep, the cloggings and sounds were to much, I found this video and im feeling a lot better already, im even crying halfway 🙁
It didn’t work for me idk if I did something wrong…the pain is definitely gone but I still feel discomfort idk what to do 🙁
is it normal to experience a cracking sound in the ear cartilage when exercising around the daith?
aw what have had really bad sinus and ear in infection over the yr constant clicking when i speak tinnitus for yrs still have but after doing theses exercises the rubbing two fingers placed on ear in circles all the cartridge was cracking or so i thought until could feel the mucus drain in my throat was like WT the jaw exercise felt if my jaw had just broke as the crunching was unbelievable great thank love from Scotland
