I havent herd about skin hardening inside ear. But at one time I had wax build up on my ear drum so bad that the ENT could"t remove it he said he was afraid of doing more damage. So he asked me to drop olive oil in my ear for two weeks. When I returned I was all cleared up.Of course this is not behind the ear drum. Now I use the olive oil as a precaution and it has worked. Hope this helps. I am also using a neti pot for my sinuses on a daily baisis. It actually works wonders on head aches and on allergy problems . As for the reflux , are you talking about acid reflux, or something else. If it's acid refulx I use cemetidin OTC. Hope someting helps. cat33
I got reflux. Now even worse when I took the Domperidone. The reflux went up to my ear during one night. It was hurt. I got the skin hardening aroung my ear which I use the tropical steroid to soften it. Thanks for that, it reminds me. It could be the fluid (reflux) or skin harden inside my ear. Did you hear that before? Can skin get harden inside the ear?
Could be you have fluid in your inner ear. I get very dizy when Im having problems with my ears. I'v already had my left ear drum burst and my right one had blisters around the ear drum. Have hearing damage from that. But the fluid still builds up and makes me dizzy . Check out a ENT specialist. They can see what no one else can. Take care. cat33
