Could This Be TTTS/ETD/or a Combo of Both?

*Apologize for the repetition. I just made a second thread since it relates to something a bit different*

In addition to my previous issue.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help tell me if this is ETD/TTTS/or a combo of both?

Since last week after when I went to clear my ears with a gentle pop, I've had this low rumbling/vibrating sound in both my ears. It at times comes and goes, is constant, or is sometimes in one ear versus the other.

Unfortunately, my TMJ is acting up and is causing me to clench my jaw a bit as well and is causing some fluctuating soreness along my jaw muscles. I've also had moments where I feel fluid almost "draining" out of my ear, leaving my ear with a bit of a wet feeling (I've had this sensation off and on in the past, but not for awhile).

I've also noticed like other people have posted, when I plug my ears I don't hear the "vibrating sound". So I've started to wonder if this is TTTS playing a bit of a role again.

Thank you very much for any help or information anyone may be able to give .

Hi

I think I have the same. My doctor told me he thinks I have an ETD based on my inverted eardrums, history of nasal congestion and acoustic shock. I've had the low-pitched rumble for years, and recently added a range of high and more annoying tones to my tinnitus due to my own stupidity.

I mostly get the pressure/full ear syndrome when I'm in the office, but when I plug up it's better, or when I'm home I can play masking sounds which help.

The doc gave me Beconase steroidal nasal spray and Betahistine which seem to be helping my hyperacusis but not the fluttering/full feeling of TTTS - in fact it may be a bit worse since my tympanometry tests and through my trying to free it up by copying a well-meaning but probably dangerous manouvere I saw on YouTube.

How are things going for you?
