I never would have imagined that hearing issues would change my whole life!
After a plane flight, my ears became clogged and stuffy and have never opened. I have seen many ENT doctors and they all have differing opinions. Everything from age related hearing loss, to TMJ, to nerve damage possibly from Covid. Also Eustachian tube dysfunction for which I had balloon inflation. Nothing helps, and my ears get more closed up all the time.
I wear hearing aids, but they don’t help me much. Over time I have developed tinnitus and hyperacusis!
I cannot live my life as I did before. I’m now close to three years with this condition.
