What Causes Ear Pressure Along With Vibrating Sensation And Dizziness?
I have had an issue with my left ear for a year now. It feels full or blocked. I can t talk on the phone because it causes a vibrating sensation that is very uncomfortable...I think it vibrates my vision. I have also noticed that I get a little dizzy at times. I have been to an audiologist and ENT where he poked a hold in my ear drum to release the air pressure but it didn t help.

Hello,
In my opinion, you might be having eustachian tube dysfunction caused secondarily because of deviated septum. This can cause blocked ears, ear pain, ear pressure, echoing of our words, reduced hearing.
Eustachian tube dysfunction is a condition diagnosed clinically. Therefore I will urge you to see a doctor for clinical examination. Following clinical examination, you can be started on antihistamines + decongestant tablet twice daily for 5 to 7 days along with decongestant nasal drops.
The blood drops are not going to harm you. So do not be worried. Until then Valsalva exercises such as chewing a gum/blowing a balloon also will be helpful.
Audiometry and tympanometry testing for your ear and to confirm the et dysfunction.
If the symptoms are very frequent, then I would advise you to consult with the ent specialist and get the nasal septum deviation corrected by doing surgery. You can consult the doctor and discuss my view with him.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
