Still trying to connect the dots regarding my ear issue. Now, Ive suspected TMJ for years and it’s only gotten worse and i think it has finally messed with my ears and I have ETD. Has anyone experienced an almost spasm like sensation sound in their ear? It is NOT pulsatile tinnitus as I have experienced that as well shortly after my ear tube was inserted this sound/feeling the best I can explain is that it sounds like a thump, or drum, or “whoom” sometimes it only happens once and other times it’s in succession but never lasting more than a couple seconds and not in sync with my heart beat. Doesn’t hurt just sounds like someone is hitting a drum in my ear lol. It seemed to have gotten better in the ear I got a tube in (left) but still effects my right ear.

Can anyone give me any advice?

I’ll preface by saying I had a carotid CT last July, Brain, Cervical, and thoracic MRI done last September for unrelated issues

Ever since January i’ve been dealing with popping in my ears, fullness, and brief ringing which had me jumping from doctors saying it’s vestibular in nature, allergies, etc. Eventually the ENT said it’s ETD and a pressure issue.

I got an ear tube placed 10 days ago in my left ear and ever since my ear has felt full (has gradually done down) and I’ve had two episodes of PT. Is this normal? I messaged my doctor but probably won’t get a response until tomorrow. It’s causing something anxiety because it’s unsettling and I’ve never had PT before. It’s only in the ear tube ear which I mean should seem reasonable to just think it’s normal healing but I can’t shake the anxiety.. /:

Anyone else?
