Will this ever go away?
Been dealing with PET for over 1.5 years now. Started after getting a balloon dilation for an obstructive Eustachian tube. My symptoms are a lot better and are not constant like before however my ear does still open up every morning within an hour or so after waking up. Caffeine and stress definitely make it worse. By the afternoon/evening my ear feels completely normal. The cycle restarts in the morning. I just want to know if there is chance this will ever go away or is this most likely my new baseline. I do have TMJ but it’s been controlled for years, I see a specialist. When my ear is open I hear my voice and breathing, when’s it’s like that I don’t even want to talk to anyone because of how distorted and loud my voice sounds in my head. Putting my head down only helps while my head is down, the second I am upright my symptoms return. I have used Patulend although I wasn’t a fan of it irritating my throat. I prefer to just use hypertonic saline spray when it’s bad which will give me a few hours of relief. Eating completely gets rid of symptoms too. Has anyone else experienced this and had it revolve?
