Do I have Patulous Tubes?
One summer when I was almost 9 year old, I got a sudden ear infection and my eustachian tubes were super closed, but after I cleared my ears using hydrogen peroxide it was so weird and different. Every time I yawn or swallow my ears clear and every time I sniff they close or like "lock" into place. Since then, I didn't tell anyone even though it was a weird sensation because I have crazy health anxiety and it makes me really avoidant to healthcare. But, last night, I looked up my symptoms and found lots of posts describing similar experiences. Does this seem like PET or something else? Also, does it ever go away? Obviously I've had it for a big chunk of my life (booo) so for me this is "normal" but I want to not have to deal with it. Are there treatments?
