Inflammation in the nose and sinuses can cause inflammation around the Eustachian tube, which is the tube that runs from the back of the nose to the middle ear and is responsible for draining the middle ear of fluid. If there is Eustachian tube dysfunction from nose or sinus inflammation, fluid can remain in the middle ear which can lead to dizziness. So, therapy for this lies in treating the underlying sinusitis.
Nasal saline irrigations over the counter like NeilMed or Neti pot are very effective, but worsen Eustachian tube dysfunction (water in the ears or feeling of fullness in the ears). The best diagnosis for this problem is a CT of the sinuses. Surgery is recommended to patients that fail maximal medical treatment.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
I have experienced ear/eustachian tube pain in both ears (although one is much worse) since a dentist appointment to repair a broken tooth 2 months ago. Doctors have suggested, and I have tried, decongestants, Garasone, Nasonex, Neti pot, Advil Cold and Sinus. Nothing is working. The glands in my neck are sore and swollen. There does not seem to be much, if any, good news to be found on the resolution of this condition. Any suggestions??
Can one experience "late-phase" allergy symptoms like malaise, fatigue, headaches, Eustachian tube dysfunction etc. without EVER experiencing "early-phase" symptoms like runny nose, itchy eyes etc. ? I do occasionally have a scratchy throat, but this is very seldom.
I have been experiencing these "late-phase" symptoms for several months now, and was recently diagnosed (via skin ***** test) with allergic rhinitis to dust mites and pollen.
t have any hearing loss or anything. ITs just Eustachian Tube Dysfunction he says its the after math from my infection 2 months ago. He said its not unusual at all that's it's still gong on. He's telling me its gong to go away completely in time the tube just needs to heal again. He didn't tell me to take anything else, my question do you think I can take Sudafed for a couple of days? Maybe it could speed up the recovery?
I've had chronic ear infections in my right ear starting at 15 years old, I'm 30 now. The doctors say it's Eustachian tube dysfunction, and since 2009 I've had three tubes put in my right ear, the first two fell out but so far the third one's held on. That has decreased the infections somewhat, but I still get them. I asked my ENT if there was any way to prevent this and he laughed and said "Go back in time!
I have this weird ear pain that goes away when I open my mouth, has anyone experienced this? I have been told it my be Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. Any thoughts on how to permanently stop the pain? I can't walk around with my mouth open, obviously.
This can be caused by Eustachian tube dysfunction. Speak to your doctor about this. Things that often help Eustachian tube dysfunction include taking an antihistamine (generally associated with allergy medication and can often be bought over the counter), nsaids such as ibuprofen and benedryl. Chewing gum, swallowing or yawning may help as well. https://www.healthline.

Went to the ER where they diagnosed Eustachian Tube Dysfunction and was given antihistimines, which only make me groggy.
The Eustachian tube is a tube that links the nasopharynx to the middle ear. The Eustachian tube also drains mucus from the middle ear. So if it becomes swollen shut or clogged, the symptoms you described will occur.
For those that experience chronic daily problems with Eustachian tube dysfunction, benefit by aggressive control of allergies (with antihistamines, decongestants, and prescription nasal sprays). Allergy evaluation can be helpful.
I asked if you could provide placebo-controlled studies to support your liberal use of antihistamines for eustachian tube dysfunction. These would be found using, for example, PubMed or simply searching through the core Otolaryngology journals. They aren't there. Because Google or Wikipedia said so should be meaningless to us.
Your statement that, "antihistaminics...reduce the nasal as well as congestion around the opening of the Eustachian tube" is simply unproven.
Hi,
This must probably be an Eustachian tube dysfunction, I think you can continue with the nasal spray, saline nasal drops and steam inhalation 2-3 times/day. Drink plenty of warm water. If the symptoms does not subside please do consult your ENT specialist. Any more doubts you are welcome.
After various doctor visits, I went to an ENT in February who diagnosed me with eustachian tube dysfunction and recommended ear tubes to allow my eustachian tubes to have time to work correctly again. For the last three months I have also suffered continuous dizziness/lightheadedness with extreme fatigue and a feeling of head 'fuzziness'.
I tried some alternative treatments for the dizziness, to no avail. I am now scheduled to go in on May 18 to get ear tubes inserted.

If it is then it could be due to sinusitis. Sometimes an Eustachian tube (tube connecting ear to throat) block can cause these pressure symptoms. Try valsalva maneuver (take a deep breath and blow while pinching your nostrils shut and closing your mouth).
Hope these tips help. If symptoms persist consult an ENT specialist. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
As Eric has mention previously it sounds likely that your son is suffering from Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD). Once the Eustachian tube (tube from nose to ear) blocks it creates a negative pressure in the middle ear cavity, this is sort of like a vacuum effect in the middle ear, hence the eardrum retracting inward. Is your son sometimes nasally and a mouth breather? The trick with ETD is Eustachian tube stimulation to unblock the tube, however it is likely to clear on its own.
I see some of the posts u make concerning eustachian tube dysfunction. I've had this now for 4 months, cant get my tube to open all the way. I went thru 52 days of 4 different antibiotics, 2 rounds of prednisone one in Jan. One in Feb.still blocked. They do crinkle and crackle a lot so my allergist said that is good, cause it means air is trying to go through but not enough to fully pop them. I've tried the steam, pinching the nose and blowing I do a nasal spray also.
Hi, sinus infections can cause dizziness, as inflammation in the nose and sinuses can cause inflammation around the Eustachian tube, which is the tube that runs from the back of the nose to the middle ear and is responsible for draining the middle ear of fluid. If there is Eustachian tube dysfunction from nose or sinus inflammation, fluid can remain in the middle ear which can lead to dizziness.
If you do have a chronic sinus infection, typical antibiotic treatment is for 4-6 weeks.
This is more so as you have episodes where you feel the ‘opening up’ and temporary relief from pain. In Eustachian tubes dysfunction, the blockage can be intermittent. If the Eustachian tube dysfunction, does not resolve with medical therapy like nasal sprays, then surgical options are the choice of treatment. Myringotomy, where a tiny slit is made in the eardrum to aspirate any middle ear fluid and to allow temporary ventilation into the middle ear space.
Hi, intermittent periods of hearing loss can occur with eustachian tube dysfunction. There are tubes called ‘Eustachian tubes’ which connect the middle ear to the throat, this balances the air pressure in the ears. This tube can get blocked due to infections of the throat, which can give lead to a feeling of fullness in the ears and hearing loss. In Eustachian tubes dysfunction, the blockage can be intermittent. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance.
He called an ENT as we live in a small town. My dr. thought it was acoustic neuroma but the ENT. thought it was Eustachian Tube dysfunction. Have had major headaches also. CT scan showed extra fluid on the brain. I am also on pain pills. NOTHING is working and I am sitting here crying wondering if I should go up to the hospital. I am 52. HELP!
Hello and hope you are doing well.
The crackling sound could be due to Eustachian tube dysfunction. There are tubes called 'Eustachian tubes' which connect the middle ear to the throat, this balances the air pressure in the ears. This tube can get blocked due to infections of the throat, which can give lead to a feeling of fullness in the ears.

This provided absolutely no change, however once the tube went into the right ear the left ear started to slowly feel stuffy as well, but not to the same level. Next ENT checked the eustachian tubes for any dysfunction and found nothing. A battery of hearing tests showed my hearing was fine, but the reflex in my right ear was off/not occurring (though he dr also noted that would not cause the full feeling.
It can as inflammation in the nose and sinuses can cause inflammation around the Eustachian tube, which is the tube that runs from the back of the nose to the middle ear and is responsible for draining the middle ear of fluid. If there is Eustachian tube dysfunction from nose or sinus inflammation, fluid can remain in the middle ear which can lead to dizziness.
