I’m thinking about acupuncture too. I’ve had loud high pitched ringing for 13 months straight.

Thank you. The loud crackling is also hard. I use Otovent to help the pressure. What tips do you have if any?

Hi! How long did you have your ear fullness before it went away? I’m now on month ten with fullness. I guess it’s improved from the onset but still hoping it will continue to go away. It’s so hard to deal with some days.

Thank you for the positivity! I appreciate your time and response.

I know this is an old comment. What makes you think it can go away within a year or two? I’m very hopeful for my own crackling to go away but haven’t had any improvement in about 9 months.

I have it too. It’s louder in the right ear. ENT can hear it as well but doesn’t seem to think it’s ETD. I’ve had it since last September. I’ve been through so many tests and they can’t figure it out. Very frustrating to deal with.

I have this problem when working out and I don’t smoke. Anyone know of any ideas to alleviate the pressure while working out?

I can relate. I never heard these noises until six months ago.

Really? Do you think this can just go away? I hope every night I wake up and there’s no more crackling sounds.

I can do this with both ears and it’s very loud. It happens every single time I swallow and when moving my jaw as well. I wish I knew exactly what it was . My husband can hear it when he puts his ear to mine. Anyone have any thoughts on what is causing it? I never experienced it until I was...

Thank you for responding. I tend to do the Valsalva maneuver way too many times in a day. Good idea to slow down on that.

Hi did you do anything to alleviate the pressure? My left ear feels very full and I’m six months in. Your post was inspiring that mine could subside. The pressure and imbalance in head feeling is pretty tough to deal with.

One doctor thought ETD and another thinks it’s nerve damage.

No, mine stays the same. It feels like the pressure just moves around in my head. I’m constantly pinching my nose and trying to equalize it and it just goes back to the same state.
