Hi,

I have been experiencing pressure in middle ear for about three months now...it began in my right ear and then migrated to my left. Although it has improved as I can now pop my ears the pressure is still there. I have been quite obsessively popping my ears which I wonder if this would worsen my symptoms. I also use the "ear popper" devise several times per day and rinse sinus with a salt solution.

Is this something that generally persists for months and subsides with time? Can excessive popping of ears (20-50 times per day) worsen symptoms?

Thanks in advance!
Stephen
