  • Thank-you so much for such a well done, clear and easy to understand explanation. At my first ENT practice I was told by 2 different doctors that the continuing fullness in my left ear was allergies. I asked why just the one ear, and the ear that gave me severe pain when I had the flu, ruptured while waiting in the emergency? That they prescribed me a steroid nasal spray given for fullness then, that affected my taste & smell. I wish I had read the fine print listing that as a side effect. No answer other than try and figure out what I’m allergic to, surprised that the spray effected me. That wasn’t even the main reason why I was there, it was for the right ear treatment for a vertigo, BPPV, when ear crystals for balance, move out place, a series of head maneuvers, can fix it when it flares up. My taste and smell has improved somewhat but never the same, some things taste weaker, or just don’t taste the same. I gave up for a few years, the pressure came and went for a few days, a week, but the tinnitus never left. I was afraid of medical help after a nasal spray damaged my senses. But now the pressure has returned with dizziness for over a month & getting worse, it’s hard to work, it wakes me up when I turn, I hear a swishing sound and dizziness, I am irritable! Just waiting for an appointment to see another specialist.

  • Such a beautiful video. Thank you. This describes how I have been feeling...I've even been saying how I want to put a balloon in my ear and blow it up!

  • There may be an easier solution to eustachian tube dysfunction with the use of Xclear nasal spray that contains mostly xylitol and sea salt. The xylitol does inhibit the Streptococcus mutans bacterial activity, which may be an underlying cause that perpetuates the production of mucus in the Eustachian tube. I'm finally finding relief with the use of Xylitol with sea salt nasal rinse and alternating with the Xlear spray.
