Hollow echo distortion in ear? Scared

HI @cus and all... yes, so "why" is it with so many people having hearing issues apart from loss of hearing; and apparently involving the brain, there is in 2021 no way to diagnose the many people who are suffering from various such problems... is it because the drs/medical feel there is no complete cure; or not affecting the majority; or ?? We have made great strides in the medical field over the years and not everything has a cure of course but why are many things so hard to diagnose?

I was diagnosed with "patulous eustachian tube dysfunction with bilateral hearing loss". The eustachian tube valves are stuck in the open position and will not close. There's no infection anywhere, but they have both been stuck for 18 months now, and my hearing is worse. The ENT who I'd been sent to before this happened said it was maybe part of Menieres, as I have occasional vertigo as well as ongoing bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus. I keep Meclazine on hand always; it stops vertigo if I take one pill and lay down with eyes closed for an hour or so. Hearing loss and the PETD? No known cure for any of those things, especially the "elderly".
I think it's what you say ~ these conditions are rare and treatments are "iffy".

I have the exact same symptoms. Eustachian tube and ear was completely clogged for 1-2 months. Then with flonase I got eustachian tube to open. Now metallic sheet metal being hit sound when I step hard or tap ear. Do glad I saw this post. I couldn't find anything online. Thank you soooo much.
