@Lane and @Roy114 lol how on earth can you observe you have swollen ED?

The crack/pop is the sound of a muscle. They are 3 possibilities: TTRS, palatal myoclonus, or stapedius muscle myoclonus spasm

@monroeniwhy difficult to run?

@DimitarIV Would you care to explain where you read that? I believe the crackling is TTS and is psychosomatic.

Same for me. I am at month 3 and half and it doesn't feel like a sound anymore... it is more like a feeling. Sometimes I forgot I have it and I have to "look for" it, some other times it so low I can't hear it. Sure it is still not cool but it is definitely not a big deal: difficult part can be...

It is a cracking/clicking sound. It could also be like 2 very quick crackling sounds I suppose... In fact my left tube can open, it just requires a lot more blow... the right opens very quickly. Am thinking it could be it is still inflamed/swollen but after 2 months and half that seems maybe too...

Any update guys?

@Rafaa any news from the endoscopy? I have a feeling my left ET is blocked as well, tympanometry & MRI are clear. I have cracking sound especially when it gets colder. When I swallow I don't hear my left tube opening like the right. I have deviated nasal septum. Am thinking about asking for an...

Not myself but it looks like you have ETD I think.

but but but... the man says it comes from the brain not the ears...

Ok thanks for clarifying. IMHO, it is entirely due to flu as I can't see how fan noise alone could cause this. Almost same happened to me and am just 3 months in. I had the dizziness as well but I realized it was mainly due to me panicking, always staying in bed, ruminating... once I got back to...

Hang in there. There are a lot people having the same issues you have. See the posts below: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/otitis-media-and-eardrum-perforation.11739/#post-153556...

Sorry on one hand you say you got the flu and you woke up with T next morning and on the other hand you think it comes from the loud noise from the fan!? Do you mean to say it (likely) started with acoustic trauma in Jan 17 and recently you got a setback/spike from the flu? I am of the same...

@Bill Bauer , you may be right! The biggest problem for me: I found protecting my ears made my T much louder because there is no masking. So very very hard to ignore it with ear plugs for me. Just to be precise, I am not saying people should listen to music/sound loud! of course if there is...

About overthinking. There was a period during my second month, I was -giving a rating to my T for morning, afternoon, evening, -writing down everything I eat, everything I feel like headaches etc... -not eating any dairy, coffee, salt, no alcohol of course, -taking the whole range of vitamins B...

I never had it swollen myself and I must say anytime it happened I never felt like tapping it, I guess I am not very curious ;) Also, interestingly, I have T only from left ear (as far as I understand and feel...) but this type of pain I feel it under both ears and mostly the right ear which I...

No, also this pain is not constant, just a few times a day, usually in the evening/night during small intervals like 10 seconds.

@lena_ , interesting, I have similar type of pain: not painful at all in fact, but I feel like some king of pressure is applied there. It is below the ear, right at the junction between the jaw and upper neck. It is also on the upper neck area next to this junction. I get it less and less often...

Hey Chris, Of course 3 weeks is nothing, give it some time. Remember during the first 2 months, this thing is a roller-coaster, it is like psychological guerilla war if you want, the field is changing every day and it wears you down. You have to stay very strong psychologically even though it...

Hi Chris, Don't panic, stay calm. This will go away or at least decrease so much in intensity you won't even be bothered. Even if it remains permanent, there is absolutely nothing to be worried about. For most people who have tinnitus it goes away, it is just they go on with their life and...

Hi all, After reading 3 months this very helpful website, I decided to share my positive story with you as it might help some of you battling with identical symptoms. I started to have a severe sinusitis 3 months ago: there was a lot of mucus in my sinuses. It was followed by an otitis media...

Hi Felix, If you think it cannot be caused by some external factor like surgery/water, is it possible that during the infection you weakened your ET and by frequently blowing your nose hard you actually damaged your middle/inner ear? This happened to me: I had a severe sinusitis and otitis...

It say acoustic trauma in his profile.

@Denise It will normally go away, give it a few weeks. Definitely, I do not recommend using neti pots, especially the plastic ones where you press the bottle to inject water. Some people have narrow Eustachian Tubes and sinuses, pressure can be so huge, it can potentially blow the middle ear and...

Hi Julia, I have exactly the same symptoms as you although I got T after ear infection. In my case, the popping was very frequent (dozen times a day) at the beginning and is now very scarce (once a day at best), it has been 2 months so far for me. Same with this skull pain right behind the head...
