Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of ringing sound in head while blowing nose. Well the symptoms you mention in query are clearly indication a condition known as eustachian tube dysfunction which could be due to many reasons like excessive accumulation of wax in ear, upper respiratory tract infection , sinusitis or post nasal drip. I would suggest you to take proper course of antibiotics along with antiinflammatory medication. You should consult ENT specialist again to rule out causer like ear infection, meniere's disease or wax buildup. Doctor may prescribe mucolytic agent , decongestant and antibiotics. Doctor may also give tubes to relieve the pressure which is common procedure. You should take steam twice a day to relieve the congestion. Do warm saline gargles. Apply dry hot compresses to external ear.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
