Tried to Cure Fluid in Eustachian Tube, Hearing Returned? Advice

Thoughts all please..

I wear a hearing aid as I have mild to moderate loss in my right ear, was called a bite on the print out I was given - right in the speech area.

I also have Tinnitus in that ear.

Every visit to ENT has ever resulted in being told that that my right eardrum is sucked in and I do tend to get a fluid build up. No one ever mentioned the Eustachian tube and it getting blocked

I looked on the internet last week and tried some techniques recommended by Dr Alan Mandell.

Specifically the Valsalvas. Immediately the fluid and whooshing sound vanished.

The Tinnitus has eased also.

But astonishingly to me is my hearing seems to have returned. I no longer need the TV on 30 and if I wear my hearing aid everything now is way to loud.

Has anyone experienced similar? Can hardly believe it..

 

I Have no similar experience, but am happy for you. Hope your T gets better and better.

 

Yes, my ENT said my hearing loss is a mix, but I am convinced it’s down to my Eustasian tube.

I have been told my right canal is very unusual but no idea why, something to do with the bone behind the drum apparently

 

Do you have mild hearing loss across all frequencies. I have mild hearing loss on one frequency.

 

Here is mine from OCT and then from FEB i had a dip to 25db on 4khz, i will post that in a thread later.

 

Apparently frequency where speech is. Sorry, not that technical around this.

 

This is what he said. It’s just the fact that when I started learning to gently open my Eustasian tube that my hearing improved.

Is this expected?

 

Yes, higher tinnitus and hyperacusis, other ear issues. I did two hearing tests on jan 15 and from there all went downhill. I will make a topic soon about how i went from very mild t to very bad tinnitus with hyperacusis.
I also did an audiogram Jan 8 and it was normal, Feb 6 mild hearing loss

I have a more complicated ear canal in one ear too. I discovered that when i had material silicon injected it in order to make custom (molded) ear plugs. I was born this way, your unusual shape is from birth too. Nobody is born perfect. It is the ear in which i have big pressure problems. I am convinced that the unusual shape of the ear canal has an impact on the ventilation of the middle ear, and poor ventilation in it causes tinnitus.
Speaking about dr Mandell's technique, i remember he says in one ear to tug on the "tragus", that portion of the ear that gets pierced when one wants to put an ear ring. I think your unusual ear canal in that ear contributes in a poorer adjustment of the pressure in the middle ear.
Anyway, congratulations for easing your tinnitus and improving your hearing by using valsava technique. Do it very carefully, though. You may hyperventilate the middle ear. There is this risk. I read accounts from people who used technique and ended up with a worsening of the problem and advice not to do the valsava maneuvre. I think it is good to do it, but with measure. Do not overdo it. Do not blow too much air and with too much force, because too much air in the middle ear is bad too. It happened to me to inflate the middle ear too much. I did not get worse tinnitus, but i could tell that something bad happened, luckily without consequences.
Apparentely you managed to do it just right and i must say that i kinda envy you. I was not so succesfull. Congratulations.

 

Anyone have a link to that video you speak of?

Thanks, I just do it gently enough for it to make an opening noise, not a pop.

 

It’s not subjective. Something clearly has changed, if I wear my hearing aid after doing the procedure I have to take the aid immediately out as everything is very loud and hurts my ears. Never happened previously.
