Hello everyone. I have had ETD ( I believe) for over 2.5 months now. It feels like ages and just doesn’t go away.

~ started on June 15 ( peak pollen grass)

~ I have a popping sound when I swallow

~ I feel in flares unbalanced and dizzy ( some weeks worse then others)

~ it’s hard to clear out pressure of my ears

~ i feel like I am on a swaying boat.

~ i already take some meds like sprays but don’t seem to do much.

Does somebody know how long this can last? Pollen season might be over soon and this is ruining my life like so much. Have others experienced this- and what worked for you?

Anyone have some tips and does this even sound like ETD? I believe so…

I had tinnitus for a while, it turned out to be caused by a neck issue, and when that was treated it went away. I know most people aren’t that lucky, and that stuck with me. So I’ve been looking into what’s actually out there, apps- devices, treatments, and honestly, a lot of it seems generic. Same white noise, same breathing exercises, regardless of what’s actually going on with your tinnitus.

I’m working on building something better, but I don’t want to guess what people need. You live with this every day and I don’t anymore.

So genuinely: what do you wish existed? What have you tried that was completely useless? What actually helped, even slightly? What does every app or product get wrong?

Anything helps.
