Eustachian tube dysfunction and balloon dilation

hi, I am wondering how you are doing. My symptoms are different than yours, but I am also feeling like I am the only person in the world going through this. My ears and head feel pressure building whenever I am anywhere with air differencials (HVAC, fans, air filters, a windy day). It's maddening. Have you had any more procedures or treatmnt?

Hi! Wow! I feel exactly like you! When I'm outside walking or it's windy I also feel the pressure and the fogginess (probably not the right word) I went to a new doctor and she didn't do anything to help me either. NO ONE understands. These doctors don't know what to do. I recently had a CT scan, a Vemp test, and and ECOG test. All fairly normal according to doctor. Well, why then is my voice sound so far away? Why do I hear clicking and popping in my "good " ear all day long? She said it's a coincidence that losing my hearing in left ear and whatever is going on with my right ear happened at the same time. I don't buy it. Looking for another "expert"

You are not alone and actually your symptoms sound very similar to mine.
The balloon procedure did not help me. I considered hyperbaric oxygen, but since it is pressurized my doctor was afraid it might make things worse. Like you, I already feel so much pressure in my head.
I also have blurry vision and terrible digestion. Problems I never had before Covid.
I wish I could tell you something that has helped me, but no, nothing has been found.
I will certainly post if I find a therapy that gives ANY relief at all.
