What's Happening Now


















I have an apt with an ERT but why does this keep coming back?View Thread



















Thank you.View Thread


Here is a similar discussion where a user was experiencing echoing in their ears as well. It also contains expert content that you might find useful.
Click here for information on Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD). It goes into depth about a condition called. Patulous Eustachian Tube (PET) . People with PET often hear their own voices (autophony) or echoes.
Ultimately, you should consult a doctor about your symptoms. The sooner you get them addressed, the sooner you will hopefully receive some relief.
Keep us updated!

Any one having success in getting this fixed, I'd appreciate hearing back.
In the meantime, I suggest listing any common symptoms here and remedies that seem to help, or not.
Relatively quiet sounds to not stimulate it. I can touch all edges of the curl of my outer ear and not stimulate it. There's a certain part just above the (normal) hold for my ear, if i make a "bridge" across two points I can here it (sort of like a loose washer against a window). Loud noises are awfully punctuated by the kazoo.
I tried shower water into my ear about 6 hours ago. At this point, using my normal speaking voice, I don't seem to set it off today. I don't know if that means its improving or its just a short term effect.
Either of two who posted years earlier, if their symptoms have relieved themselves or had any change, please let us all know.View Thread

I have been diagnosed with a sinus infection many times going to both walk in clinics and family doctors. I have been prescribed all kinds of sprays and antibiotics but nothing has helped at all. It's like doctors don't believe me when I say it has been going on for years. Also I have no symptoms such as a fever, pressure below or behind eyes, or pain when applying pressure below the eyes on the cheeks.
Another odd factor is that it only affects my right nostril. My left is generally clear unless I am going to sleep and I lay with my left ear on the pillow. In which case my left side slowly becomes blocked and I cannot breath at all. Rolling over onto my right side it slowly clears up and I can again breath from my left side only.
I recently have seen a specialist, who stuck a camera up my nose and told me I had a Pollock. I scheduled another appointment to have it removed, but I already was thinking in my head, that it explained the blockage but not the off color. After an excruciatingly painful session of trying to pull it out of my head we had given up on it because it was very large to begin with, I had hit my pain tolerance because of how sensitive it had become and enough was removed so I could breathe freely.
The next couple weeks i could breathe fine but I still had yellow drips. At the follow up appointment he said it was looking a little infected. I said it has always been like that, and he looked at me in disbelief and surprise. I too was surprised because that was the reason I went to see him in the first place. He gave me a prescription for more nasal spray that I still have not filled because it seems pointless since I have already done multiple kinds of sprays and antibiotics.
As is, I still have the yellow drips, my breathing is back to the same as it was before, and I blow out very gross yellow mucus, sometimes kinda solid. Iv been blowing my nose many many times, everyday for at least the last 7 years, and always only the left side, the right side is absolutely fine. No sinus infection symptoms besides the off color and blockage.View Thread

Here is a link to a previous post in this community that was answered by our former health expert (the first reply on the post): http://forums.webmd.com/3/cold-and-flu-exchange/forum/2283 He suggested that it is possible the clogging in caused by Exercise-Induced Eustachian Tube Dysfunction.

Here is an answer from one of our previous experts in the communities, however, it is not a substitute for an in-person ear exam by a medical professional: http://answers.webmd.com/answers/5002071/when-i-swallow-i-sometimes-get-crackling-in-my-earis-this-an-ear-infection-or-just-wax-pleaseView Thread















We to dr who told me my ears look ok but could have fluid inside and explained nerves can play a huge part in the pain. Sometimes it feels like my head really hurts and dizziness, and nausea. I am prone to anxiety and thought maybe that was part of it. was prescribed 20mg prednisone and 300mg 2 t a day of cefdinir but been on it for 2 days and show only slight relief.
any ideas on the head pressure sure would helpView Thread
