Ongoing Eustachian Tube Dysfunction – Need Advice
Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) | Last Active: Nov 24 6:47am | Replies (31)Comment receiving replies
I have been dealing with this for over 3 months.. I've had antibiotics and prednisone... I really dislike taking pharmaceuticals... I am not in pain.. I feel pressure in my right ear... Which is causing slight TMJ (no pain, just jaw tiredness).
I would love to know how to get rid of this eustachian tube discomfort...
I am taking Mucinex to help thin out the mucous... But it seems like it keep clogging back up the next day...
This all started after improperly using a nasal rinse back in early July 2025... I am sure I irritated my sinuses and there's likely a lot of inflammation causing this issue.
There is no eardrum perforation.. or infection anymore.
Thank you so much I look forward to your responses 🙂

Your post came over fine. Go to the ENT (ear,nose and throat) support group on this forum and you will see discussions on this topic.

I've had major hearing loss all my life...I wear Phonak aides. For the past year im feeling uncomfortable pressure in my ears and struggling worse for clarity.
Ent sees fluid and lots of ear drums scarring...he put me Azelastine and flonase...to start. He said maybe only surgery would help, and thats temporary. Im not going to do any of that. Meds are not helping either.
Today I go for a hearing test, which i dread! Tomorrow I follow up with dr.
I dont usually get this bad unless im sick...but this started a year ago and has not let up.
Muffled hearing and my voice is raspy.
Anyone have this...find some relief?
