Lately I've been experiencing fluid in my middle ear, like when I move my head I can feel it splashing around and moving like water.

How do I drain this without worsening my hyperacusis and tinnitus?

That's called blocked eustachian tube.

The eustachian tubes help the ears drain fluid and they keep the pressure in ears in check.

It often gets better on its own after a while, but you can try closing your mouth, holding your nose, and gently blowing (similarly like you would if you were blowing your nose). Chewing gum or yawning can help.

Some people have reported good success using EarPopper.

For cases that you can't resolve on your own, a doctor can insert ear tubes, but a better alternative for chronic eustachian tube dysfunction is a balloon.

Yeah I've been trying all "traditional" ways to open the eustachian tubes but none seem to work, and I have been struggling with this for the last 2 weeks, s I am getting an EarPopper. Valsalva maneuvers for example literally shoots fluid into my ears.

I wouldn't do that before I conformed it wasn't an infection.

@__nico__ can you get it looked at? With an infection, usually the ear drum will look cloudy and/or bulge and most ENTs should be able to pick it up.

I have an otoscope with a camera on it that allows me to look at my eardrum myself and there is no infection.
