More breathing....Further to the anulom vilom breathing technique described at the top do the Bhramri as well.
Bhramri Pranayam
Close eyes.Use both hands to close ears with thumb, index finger on forehead, and rest three fingers on base of nose touching eyes. Breathe in through nose. And now breathe out through nose while humming like a bee.
Do this 5 times twice a day.

The breathing needs patience - do it everyday and you will notice benefits slowly.It works very gently and naturally and so the benefits start to be noticed after a few weeks. Some of you have tried and benefited and commented and it is nice to know.Only by doing you benefit.After you feel better, keep up the breathing exercises once a day to keep the symptoms away.
I fully sympathise with your ear problems. I had 1 episode of vertigo years ago and went to see the ENT Dr. The jr Dr didn't seem to believe me and tested me by suddenly jerking my head- I screamed my head off !!! Luckily another Dr saw me and prescribed antibiotics and the vertigo disappeared within a week.
Actually, I forgot about reading this website 2 weeks after my posting, as up till now I haven't had that awful blocked ears return. I am still taking the 3 types of capsules , at half dose, like maintenance as I do feel good taking them - treating them like Vitamin pills.
It's very very expensive but I do not have to boil the herbs as it's all in capsule form- called Tong Ren 103.
I don't mind your contacting me through e-mail or vice-versa if the med Help Administrator says it is ok.
Your maintenance idea of half dosage is definitely good. I was OK for three months in May till August, and was not advised on the maintenance program. I went about life normally, without a care about eating salty, fried and curry food, and going to noisy places. I remembered I over indulged in food and going to noisy places just the week before the hearing problems started again. Till today I have not been able to overcome. Regarding the e-mail, I have written to MedHelp for assistance.
Did you try it? I went to the site but haven't tried anything yet. Has anybody tried it?
MedHelp has replied that they do not have your full e-mail address, and have suggested that I private message you. I have just done that thru the inbox at the top right hand side of the forum page after signing in. (I believe you should be able to read my message after you open your inbox, and reply me in private. In case this does not work, pls give MedHelp your full e-mail address so that they can help to link us. Thks.)
I too have been having this problem of blocked ears and ringing sensation since Jul 2007, can u tell me or give me contact no of TCM as I'm from Singapore too. I've tried ENT specialist and nothing has help as I'm going insane. Pls help asap
