Hi! So just wanted to check if steam inhalation is a safe method for treating ETD? I don’t want to use nasal sprays in the first place. Does anyone have good experiences from doing steam inhalation?

Hi! I am going to take herbs for Lyme disease. Andrographis and Resveratrol are some of them. Does anyone have experience with any ototoxicity from herbs? Or are they considered a safe option, compared to antibiotics?

Okay so you guys are pretty sure that it can be a noise induced hearing loss above 8 khz in that case?

Hi! So I've been afflicted with Lyme disease for 2 years. I treated it with Doxycycline in the beginning and the symptoms went away. I didn't experience noticeable tinnitus or hearing loss back then. Now the Lyme is back, after I did a checkup when they discovered borreliosis. I have also...

That's one theory. However, I've now confirmed borreliosis. I will try to cure that and see if my symptoms will get better!

Hi! So I've been struggling with my ears for a couple of months now... I now turn to you guys, because 3 different specialists don't seem to be able to answer the problem.. :censored: In December I had two huge colds after each other and at last in January it went over. It then began in...

Hi! I was at my ENT today and did a hearing test which showed completely normal values. Lastly, he examined my ears and at the end he blew air with a bellows (I think that's what it's called - a small hand pump) into both my ears. He wanted to check how my ear drums were moving. Later I...

Well I guess a small bump into the wall won’t cause a serious TBI. But perhaps cause a very tiny one? In that case if it is a small concussion, could that still damage the inner ear? Affect hearing and tinnitus?

Yes will do. But is it necessary to visit an ENT to check my hearing? I did a check at Tuesday which showed no hearing loss. And I will need to wait 2-3 weeks for next appointment.

Ok, I don’t know if I’m supposed to be paranoid or not.

No not what I can notice. Didn’t feel any hearing loss or specific tinnitus spike.

Hi! I was just about to lean back with my head to rest against the wall, when I accidentally hit it with the back of my head. It wasn’t hard at all, it hurt just a little. I now feel dizzy but don’t feel ill. Is there a possibility that I have damaged my inner ear in some way? Or are we...

Has anyone tried steam inhalation?

I am not allergic to anything that I'm aware of. Don't have any other symptoms. My nose is fine and no other allergic symptoms. I just don't want to *** up anything more. These remedies that I listed. Are they considered safe for your ears? That is: steam inhalation, chewing gum, nose spray...

Hi! So from 2 ENT appointments I've drawn the conclusion that I'm suffering from ETD. I've already tried Valsalva but that resulted in a bursted eardrum. Now that is healed and I don't wanna do those types of maneuvers again. I've heard chewing gum, nose spray and steam inhalation seem to be...

Yeah have experienced it before and then it went away after a little while. But now it feels like it hits me for days. But could also be all other underlying causes that affects my ear. ETD and what not.

The thing is I don’t have pain when I wake up and it doesn’t hurt when I sleep. It doesn’t feel uncomfortable. Only a bit muffled hearing. Have used my pillow for a long time and never had these problems before. It’s just now when I’ve other ear issues with ETD that this problem is occurring

Sometimes after side sleeping on one side during the night I wake up with muffled hearing on that ear. My pillow is not very hard but not soft either - somewhere in between. Could this be dangerous in any sense for your ear? I don’t do any drastic movements or such. Just lying carefully on the...

Just a follow up on this thread. Sometimes after side sleeping on one side during the night I wake up with muffled hearing on that ear. My pillow is not hard but not soft somewhere in between. Could this be dangerous in any sense for your ear? I don’t do any drastic movements or such. Just...

Ah ok. Today I even got a cracking and thumping sound in my left ear, followed by a bit muffled hearing, during a hiccup. Some pain as well. Is this normal? The pain is mostly around the ear. Have someone ruptured their eardrum by doing this? It was not an extraordinarily hard hiccup. Pretty normal.

Ah cool, you get the sensation of build up pressure of air in the middle air but in fast it is you muscles contracting.

Hi! Sometimes when I burp or am having hiccup I get a bumping/thumping sound inside my ears. It only occurs in the moment of the hiccup (it’s only one bump). Then nothing more. I don’t have any pulsating sound that continues after. It feels like my tympani muscle is contracting while burping...

Hi Everyone! I've had problems with tinnitus and muffled hearing in my right ear since January 2019. A couple of weeks ago my specialist told me that she considered it to be ETD, that was causing my hearing loss in the right ear and recommended me to do Valsalva manoeuvre everyday...
