      I can see people often post that's it "safe to fly" with tinnitus, but I think my eustachian tubes are blocked some, and I'd rather not take the risk. I have to pop my ears everyday, and I used to never have to do that.

      Also, any comments on cabin noise or pressure?

      I can find traveler advice that say for sinus and ear colds it's better not to fly, and I wonder if I should put myself in that category. I do not want to make my tinnitus recovery or condition worse.

      Thanks in advance.
