Yes, and I am one of them. I believe that mine became much better after about 6 months and it was gone by the time I was 12 months in.
Valsalva maneuver doesn't work, and might actually be hurting the ears (if done too forcefully). The only thing one can do is wait. Mine was definitely still there at the 6-months mark, albeit by that time it got a little better. If yours is still not better, you need to give it more time. I would get concerned that it is taking too long to heal only after no improvement for over a year...
Thank you for responding. I tend to do the Valsalva maneuver way too many times in a day. Good idea to slow down on that.
It won't help. Your ear fullness has nothing to do with the reason why you are feeling this same sensation when you fly. In your case, it is a symptom of your ears being hurt. When you do Valsalva maneuver, you might be hurting your ears and interfering with your healing. Consider never doing that maneuver again. If you have to do it, try to do it as gentle as possible.
