The tinnitus can be caused by blocked ears and mine are still clogged but I am seeing an Ent trying to address
the problem.

I have seen seven ENTs. I hope you get more help than I have gotten. They started with an ear flushing...nope. Then to hearing test...perhaps a hearing aid. I have hearing aids, but my moderate hearing loss is not really the problem. Then suggested I may have TMJ problem. Had a very expensive appliance made, wore it for ten weeks. Nope! Not that.
Suggested Eustachian tube dysfunction and I would agree with that, but how to fix? I have tried all the methods of opening tubes, and nothing has helped me. I was not considered a candidate for balloon dilation, which is a minimal invasive surgery. Etc, etc, etc. All doctors suggested SSRI which after trying several, just did not agree with me.
So almost two years later, I struggle daily with this underwater, dizzy, disoriented condition.
Guess what? I see an 8th ENT in two weeks!
