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?

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...

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...

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...

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...
