I haven’t noticed any hearing issues, though I have nasal congestion most of the time, intermittent stuffy nose, watery nose, phlegm in throat most of the time. I went in for taste issue (constant metallic turned bitter taste) and discovered to have Smell/taste disorder.

He examined my sinuses, ears and throat and found nothing unusual. I have a follow up soon. This is at Duke. I didn’t get the impression there was much he could do. I did start taking Zinc and smell retraining.

I also have what I call "airplane ears", as that is how my ears feel as well as intermittent buzzing. This mainly happens when I am in a major crash. I was reading something yesterday about this and that they believe that there is some kind of inflammation putting pressure on the estuation tubes. I also get constant eye throbbing behind my eyes and migraines. I have had these things for over 2 years. I just keep trying new things. I go to the Darmouth Hitchcock Long Covid Clinic. They seem to be up to date on the latest research and hopeful treatments for the symptoms. Unfortunately, no one has an answer as to why our bodies are doing what they do yet. I hope this helps. I will try to find where I saw this article. I can't remember if it was on the NIH website or somewhere else.
