Finished my 7 day antibiotics for an ear infection so that’s all healed, however my hearing is muffled, echoey, and crackly poppy and I CANNOT seem to clear it. Pic of it is so unsettling. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

\- Flonase once a day
\- Zyrtec once a day
\- warm compress with massage
\- netti pot machine thing several times a day
\- swallow water and blow out w nose plugged
\- plug nose and blow (not TOO hard)
\- swallow water with nose plugged
\- vibrating massager behind ear / sinus massage YouTube videos
\- steam showers

NOTHING HELPS and I’m getting a little freaked out.

Any actions to remedy this are VERY appreciated—the echoes in my ear are killin me.

As you can see my Eustachian tube is completed blocked with bubbly mucus. The past two weeks after my infection healed, my hearing is muffled, and I can hear my heart beat and whoosh.

I CANNOT seem to clear it. Pic of it is so unsettling. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

\\- Flonase once a day
\\- Zyrtec once a day
\\- warm compress with massage
\\- netti pot machine thing several times a day
\\- swallow water and blow out w nose plugged
\\- plug nose and blow (not TOO hard)
