      Earwax/Botched Irrigation/Noise Trauma
      Since cracking my jaw too widely a couple days ago my ear has been somewhat muffled/clogged, I keep trying to get relief with the valsalva maneuver, which seems to usually help mildly but sometimes it makes it a little worse/more full feeling.

      Can the maneuver itself damage ears and or make tinnitus any worse?

      Yes so be careful as will inflame your ears.
      I find it's better doing it after a hot drink and slow and not hard.
      Love glynis

      Just checking Glynis, do you believe it can damage the inner ear. Is this what you mean?

      Your ear drum and middle ear not inner ear.
