Eustachian tube dysfunction and balloon dilation

I replied to you on another thread, but no you are not alone. I also had balloon dilation and it gave me no relief. My procedure was about six months ago so I don’t expect anything. My condition just gets worse. I have the most discomfort on the left side, but both ears are impaired.
I also had hyperbaric oxygen suggested, but after your experience I will not go forward with that.
You are right, doctors don’t understand and don’t have a treatment for this.
But, you are not the only one suffering with this. My Audiologist told me that since Covid she has many people with similar complaints.
I don’t remember if you said you had Covid. Mine started a few weeks after feeling recovered from Covid.

I honestly think it’s some physical issue with a compressed nerve or muscle-skeleton issue that gets exacerbated with poor posture spending time in bed and//or inflammation. Mine is completely cured when I take muscle relaxers and steroids
Ents don’t know about muscle/head structural issues so they usually just tell everyone it can’t be cured and to move on w the problem

Sorry you had no relief.. what did the dr say? Did he/she give up on helping you? I don't get it...there has to be a solution! I had a very bad experience with hyperbaric but others didn't. So to be fair, what happened to me is rare but it did happen. I've had covid but not around this time. Watch in a few years, there'll be some class action lawsuit or something saying that this is caused by covid or the vaccinations. Maybe my son and daughter in law were right in refusing to take them. (against my wishes...but can't make them)
