Hello ! I am new here and i thought that maybe, someone, somewhere has experienced the same thing as me and could help me .. i literally tried everything else and i am at loss.
Okay, so since i was 16 years old, i started getting really bad allergies. Allergy to everything, dust, mites, dogs, cats, roaches, trees, grass etc. Literally everything. I always felts like my Eustachian tubes had a hard time pressurizing my ears because i always felts my eardrum really pop or vibrate a lot as pressure changed. And so 2 years ago, it all started for me. I got what i assumed ear baotrauma because i ruptured my eardrum and then my symptoms started. Muffled earring, 20% conductive hearing loss, ear pain, ticklish ear, Tinnitus, ear fullness. I went to 5 ENT. The first one told me it was a problem with my jaw... but my jaw weren't hurting me at all and that doesn't make any sense with the hearing loss or muffled hearing. Another ENT told me it was my ossicles which again, doesn't explain the ear pain, ear fullness, and why it happened all the sudden... so went to another ENT who told me it was my ossicles again...
I just can't believe this diagnosis... Anyway, i moved to another state a few month ago, and saw the 6th ENT. Had an hearing test done, and tympanometry. They told me i had fluid behind my ear..........
Went in to get the fluid taken care off but surprise... there was no fluid inside my ear ! So again, they diagnosed me with osteosclerosis...
That doesn't explain why it happened all of the sudden... the ear pain, ear fullness. They made a pin size hole in my eardrum but it didn't change much. The other day, i yawned.. and ruptured my eardrum again. So i am thinking it is my eustachian tubes having a hard time equalizing the pressure in my ear..
So what i think is that i might have a stuck shut Eustachian tube that's causing me all these symptoms. I never had the tympanometry test with the drinking glass test, they left it at it was osteosclerosis.
Anyone has ever experience something similar and it ended up being the eustachian tube ? This ENT i am seeing is really bent on the osteosclerosis thing and i personally think it is my tube but the tympanometry say otherwise although we haven't done the glass drinking thing. Any thoughts would be really appreciated .. thank you !
