First off, try to stay calm. Not easy for me to say, as I have dealt with menieres over the past year. I have tried to deal with many ents and drs to no avail. The best thing you can do is see a tcm dr and a naturopath who does blood analysis. A problem with the ear is the result if something else wrong in your body.  A tcm dr will be able to help you with acupuncture and Chinese herbs- probably has something to do with your liver, spleen, or kidneys. When going to a naturopath, look to see if you have a yeast problem resulting in Candida. A huge problem not understood at all by drs. Antibiotics, and other things we take and do kills all the good bacteria in our bodies allowing the bad bacteria to take over. My naturopath had had success with clearing out the Eustachian tubes by doing ims acupuncture. Good luck!

what is helping me is doing the sinus rinse every day, no skipping at all. i do the neil med with the bottle. and i also am using a aerosol nasal spray zetonna. i also took a round of prednasone, helped. but i really think the nasal rinses are the key. bc i think my tubes are working fine, just plugged up. when i use the nasal rinse i blow out of my nose, a lot of gross junk and old dried blood. so maybe i had a infection in the tubes ? i dont know but rinse them every day for about a week and see what happens. thats what i am going to keep doing for sure since it is helping a ton for me. and when u do the rinses get the solution in the sinus area and move your head around like the women does here, its what i am doing.

its what i am doing, or at least i move my head around a bit with the fluid still in. it gets in the tubes a bit and does help to clean them out.

Are you talking about ear tubes? because my ENT told me do not put anything in the ear with ear tubes!

Hi, Could you post some pictures of this or a video. It's hard to figure out how to do this just from the words. I find that true with yoga in general. Thanks if you do !!

I tried hava's remedy for about 10 minutes today and I already have relief. I can't beleive it. It's so nice to be able to 'almost' hear properly out of my left ear. I will continue.

Hi liz, i know its been a few years since you were on here I was wondering if you have had any progress? I too have had this going on constantly in my right ear and intermittently in my left since 99. I have watched my kids go from tykes to teens without hearing them. I am on the brink of insanity and the doc's have nothing to offer and seem as if they could care less. HELP!!!!
