I Started Having A Cold More Than 7 Weeks Ago
Question: I started having a cold more than 7 weeks ago with sneezing and then it turned into a cough with a blocked ear and ringing from it. The blocked ear improved about a month ago but I still get ringing and a sense of fullness from it which I have now had for about 7 weeks. I saw the ear, nose and throat doctor a week ago who checked it and confirmed that there was no longer any fluid in the ear but the Eustachian tube was still blocked. He prescribed a nasal spray, nose drops and courtesone tablets for 3 days to clear it more than two weeks ago. How long does it normally take in these circumstances for the ringing in the ear to subside?

Detailed Answer:
Hii. As you are suffering from allergic rhinitis there is inflammation of the nose. The nasal mucosa becomes congested due to inflammation. Eustachian tube is the connection between ear and nose. It helps in maintaining pressure between ear and outside atmosphere. Due to allergic rhinitis the eustachian tube get congested and it fails to open and maintain pressure between ear and atmosphere. This can result in fluid accumulation in the middle part of ear and ringing sensation of ear. When the allergic rhinitis get resolved the fluid in the middle ear get absorbed but sometimes eustachian tube fails to function properly. So the ringing sensation still persists. You continue nasal fluticasone or saline nasal spray. Take steam inhalation through nose. It can take as long as 2-3 months to get resolved. Chew chewing gum and blow balloon to facilitate eustachian tube opening. Do a hearing test and make sure that you have normal hearing as sometimes allergic rhinitis can affect the hearing also. Don't worry about ringing sensation. Relax and lead a stress free life. Don't pay heed to the sound. It will decrease by its own. Continue the spray, do a hearing test and review if you have any queries.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I was concerned because I hadn't seen any improvement in the ringing sensation and fullness in the ear for about 7 weeks. The ringing is particularly noticeable when I move my jaw up and down such as while eating or gringing my teeth. Does it really take so long for the Eustachian tube to work properly again? My hearing appears normal as I do not have any problems hearing people speak.

I went to see the ear, nose and throat doctor esrlier today who recommended having an X ray wih the jaw and when I move it up and down since I hear a ring noise then. He said that I should take the X ray results to a specialist dentist to analyse it. However, the jaw does not hurt at all and I also feel a fullness in the ear even when my jaw is not moving. Please advise.

I forgot to mention that the ear, nose and throat doctor said there were still some deposits inside my ear from the ear drops that I was prescribed from more than a month ago and she syringed the ear to remove them and prescribed ear drops for me to take for 7 days. Could these deposits inside the ear also cause the high ringing noise when I move my jaw up and down?

Hii. Eustachian tube generally remain closed at rest and on chewing or swal
Detailed Answer:
Hii. Eustachian tube generally remain closed at rest and on chewing or swallowing it gets opened. Patulous eustachian tube is the eustachian tube which remains opened at rest and fails close. In patients having patulous eustachian tube patient has autophony, can hear the inner self generated sounds which is not audible in normal patients. So you have eustachian tube dysfu or patulous eustachian tube. The treatment is do valsalva manouvre, chew chewing gum, blow balloon, nasal breathing exercise, steam inhalation and nasal spray. Gingo biloba increase blood supply and can be helpful in tinnitus in sensorineural hearing loss. In hearing loss due to nerve weakness it may increase blood supply and can help in improvement, but the results are doubtful. Bug it won't help in eustachian tube disorders.

Thanks and I have tried all the things that you mentioned. I try not to be stressed but it is difficult as I am often aware of it. I normally have fullness in the ear or a squeaky kind of sound when I move the jaw up and down while eating. From your experience, does it always fade over time such as between 2-3 months? Sorry to ask you so many questions.

Hii. I think the sound you are experiencing is the clicking sound due to mo
Detailed Answer:
Hii. I think the sound you are experiencing is the clicking sound due to movement of eustachian tube which gets opened on closing and opening mouth. So it's not due to nerve weakness. So I think your hearing will come as normal in hearing test. Right eustachian tube may be functioning better than the left one so left sound is more pronounced. It is insignificant and won't change any treatment. The treatment is same as discussed previously.

You thought though my hearing would come back as normal from a hearing test Why is that?
I have also noticed that when I chew on the right side of my mouth, I think the light squeaky sound is more noticeable than on the left side of the mouth. Does that make sense? Thanks

I try to ignore the sound but the fullness in the ear particularly bothers me when I am in a quiet room as well as the squeeky sound when I am chewing on something. When I saw the ENT doctor he seemed to think it would all clear up quickly perhaps even within a couple of weeks with the medication so it made me more anxious when I finished taking the medication such as cotisone and actifed with the symptoms not improved. He then recommended having a scan on the jaw although there is no pain or discomfort from my jaw or teeth.

Brief Answer:
No role of scan here in your ear fullness.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
No role of scan here in your ear fullness.
The ear fullness is due to eustachian tube dysfunction as well as the sound is also. Although you take steroids and antiallergic medication for a long time it always takes some time to recover.
So, time is a factor. It will take more time for the proper functioning of the eustachian tube. Till then do the Valsalva maneuver, steam inhalation, nasal spray.

I try the Valsalva maneuver, steam inhalation and nasal spray daily but the symptoms appear to remain the same. I went on an aeroplane recently for a 3 hour flight with flight plugs and didn't have any problem with the ear. Is it a common problem I have and also the time it takes for the symptoms to subside?

I understand.
However, I went to see my ENT doctor today and requested a hearing test which I attach and would appreciate your comments very much.
She also inspected my ear and said it now looked normal apart from a few deposits left in the ear from the antibiotic ear drops I took over a month ago.
She also prescribed betahistine oral tablets which I should twice daily for a month. She also recommended that I should have physiotherapy on my jaw as she thinks it could be causing the squeeky noise when I open and close my mouth particularly while I am chewing food. Finally, she said I could have my ear tested for the pressure as I often have fullness and pressure in the ear. I would appreciate your comments. Many thanks.

I went back to see the ENT doctor a few days ago who inspected my ear and said there was still mucus causing the blockage and producing the ringing noise/fullness in the ear. He also mentioned that the septum in the nose was disjointed towards the left but I forgot to ask him what that means. He then suggested that I should take a short course of solupred for 5 days and continue using the nasal spray which I have now completed the course but I still notice this squeeky noise when moving my jaw up and down particularly when chewing food. Please advise if possible. Many thanks.

I went to see the ENT doctor again a few days ago who confirmed that the ear was clear but there was still mucus behind the ear drum and the nasal septum was disjointed. He also prescribed Aturgyl nasal spray for a further 10 days but didn't recommend prescribing prednisone as I had taken it recently for 5 days. He said that I need to be patient but I am just a little concerned there has been very improvement in the high pitched squeeky noise and fullness in the ear which I have had for almost 3 months. Does it really take such a long time to clear?

The ENT doctor I saw recently said the ear was clear but the nasal septum was disjointed so is there any need for a CT scan of the brain and ear? I have been told the squeeky noise and the ear fullness will fade away but should it not have disappeared after more than 3 months? Thanks

Hii. Your hearing status is normal. The sound which is coming is due to TM
Detailed Answer:
Hii. Your hearing status is normal. The sound which is coming is due to TM joint or eustachian tube dysfunction. But if you are too much suspicious then you can do a MRI brain to look for any other vascular anomaly. If there is no vascular anomaly then the sound is obviously from TM joint or eustachian tube dysfunction. So there is no specific treatment regarding this dysfunction. So it can be reappear at some point in life and if you don't pay attention to this sound then it can go off easily. So nothing to worry about.

Ok thank you. I am not suspicious and accept it should be due to TM joint or eustachian tube dysfunction. I do not pay attention to the noise for the majority of the time but it is difficult to ignore it all the time. You are saying that it is not something that will completely disappear but can easily return.
