• I’ve experienced vertigo and dizziness and my primary mentioned ETD. She said there’s a technique that may help cure it but she doesn’t do it anymore because patients may experience bad nausea. Can you help with this?

• No looooooooog videos...I'd rather go deaf!

• "avoiding caffeine" well s**t

• my ears get clogged all the time, and also when I swallow when I eat or drink it also get clogged and then I need to open it by closing my nose. I also suffer from phlegm in my throat very often and I need to spit it out all the time. it is very bad. already many years. I am from Israel.

• I never ever have pain in my ear BUT whenever I yawn or drink fast my left ear pops CONSTANTLY. I don’t know what to do. I went to urgent care and they didn’t say much. Currently I’m trying to go to sleep but my left ear is popped/muffled and I hear my own voice.

• I will be 40 in 2024. Throughout my life, beginning around a year and a half in age, I began suffering middle ear infections. From ages 3-13, four sets of tubes were placed along with tympanoplasty on my ear drums to repair perforations at age 13. I am so over the tubes. While not having had a middle ear infection in about 15 years, I suffer chronic ETD of all three types at various points in my life. I wish our FDA would approve the balloon surgery as standard instead of experimental so that I could afford the procedure! Thanks to our not so affordable health care act, my deductible is far too high.

• I am a musician and recently have been having ear pain and HYPER sensitivity to even normal noise levels... I have ear fullness 24/7. If i yawn/swallow/or even just open and close my jaw I hear a clicking in my ears.. kind of like fluid moving who knows..... being a musician the pain and or fear of is driving me nuts... u think this is liek hearing loss/pre-tinnitus?

• I hear a crackling noise when I swallow…pleasehelp

• That was the best video I've seen in this topic. Thank you!

• For around 2 1/2 years, my ears have been crinkling, popping, crackling to no end! It gets worse gradually over time to now it sounds like a bag of chips is opening in my ear every time I move my jaw, swallow, try to put air into my ear because of altitude change, and nothing ever works. Every time I get a cold and get the natural ear clogging cause by the sickness, I can never re stabilize the pressure in my ear because of it. Does anybody know what would be best before I soon get it checked out?
