The eustachian tube is a tube about 35mm long that connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx. The function of eustachian tubes is to equalize the pressure between the middle ear and the surrounding atmosphere. Another function of the eustachian tube is to drain the mucus from the middle ear. Eustachian tubes may get blocked because of various infections. The infections may be those of the ear or upper respiratory tract. Cold, nasal allergies and sinusitis are some main reasons related to eustachian tube blockage.

I am suffering from Eustachian tube dysfunction from 2 year there is always a ringing voice in my both ears …please help me
I am a 45 year old Lady that has suffered with Eustachian for many years. I flew in airplanes since I was a little girl and the pain upon decending was horrific. I began noticing problems with my ears when I could no longer hear for a couple of days after a flight. Since about 35, I have had vertigo, so I cannot shoot a 3-point basketball shot anymore, along with hearing loss, pain and forget about trying to blow my nose without plugging up my ears. Without proper healthcare, do have a suggestion on a homeopathic route for me. Much appreciated! My friends have been telling me I keep talking so loud.
I had been experiencing some pain in my ears which got better by itself but since a few days I have been experiencing sensetivity to high pitched sounds which isn’t getting better. Even normal sounds of people speaking seem unbearable.

Revered Sir
I had a perforation in my right ear since childhood. Now I am 49. Due to recurrent bacterial infection I had two TS patches on the said TM and experienced loud tinnitus 17 months ago. I underwent Tympanoplasty surgery 2 months ago and it was all right upto a month. Now due to imbalance in the middle ear the ear gets clogged and hearing gets worse. While sleeping breathing is normal and hearing is OK and I can speak without difficulties. If I eat or drink something it is OK for a moment. Otherwise with a pop while swallowing saliva or sometimes on its own, the ear getting clogged, I feel sound of wind while breathing and can’t speak. While speaking I feel pain in ear specially while pronouncing NASAL SOUNDS.
I am disheartened as I am a teacher in a private school.
God will be with you if you help me. If you advice I can buy medicine from you or from other stores if you please prescribe.
I thit the EUSTACHIAN TUBE can’t balance the air pressure in the middle ear.
Awaiting your valuable advice.
Regards

Hi Dr Sharma
Two weeks ago I suffered with a sore throat, which developed into a very heavy cold with brown/yellowish mucus. This impacted my ears and suddenly my ears felt very heavy and blocked. I was prescribed antibiotics for a week as the doctor said I had some fluid and reddish ear drum (infection). I saw the doctor again yesterday and was told the ear was clear. The doctor diagnosed the ear problem as ETD and prescribed a nasal steroid spay and said this a very common problem which will clear by itself.
This is where I am today but as I believe in homeopathy I would really appreciate if you could kindly let me know the correct remedy for my above described symptoms for the ears.
Many thanks in advance. Look forward to your reply.

Hello, Regarding the Gesemium, how much should I take and for how long?
Almost one year of ear congestion. Buzzing sound, frequent ringing, some hearing loss and pressure / slight pain periodically.
Started last fall with sinus congestion but that cleared up a long time ago.
ENT measured increase pressure in both ears and Eustachian Tube is the cause. He wants to put in tubes…can you recommend a homeopathic plan?
I went to an ENT and I have a diagnosed post nasal drip, chronic sinus infection, and eustachian tube dysfunction. The ear problem started maybe 5 to 6 years ago when I got a really bad head cold or flu and my ears blocked up on me, but it resolved a week or two later when my cold resolved. Almost everytime after that when I got a head cold with sinuses and throat issues my ears would go haywire too, but they would always clear up following the cold. Over the last year or so things have gotten more chronic with my ears. Whenever I drive up and down hill or go fast on the highway, my ears go haywire like i’m almost on an airplane. The altitude changes and pressure in car makes my ears feel pressure and blocked and they don’t equalize properly. In addition to this, over the last month or so it’s becoming more chronic. swallowing affects my ears, drinking, eating, blowing my nose, laughing, yawning. My euchastian tubes are messed up and I never know what’s going to happen next. It’s a scary feeling. Sometimes, I feel a miserable pressure in my head and ears, sometimes they feel blocked and clogged so everything sounds more muffled and not clear, other times I hear a buzzing, ringing, or extra sounds in my ears, and sometimes I am very sensitive to loud sounds. Is there anything I can do to clear out and unplug my eustachian tubes naturally? I don’t even know the root cause of why I have the dysfunction in the first place. The ENT wanted me to go on an antibiotics for my sinus infection and have Pressure equalization tubes put in my eardrum. I don’t want to do that if I can do it naturally. I have been taking a lot of different herbs to try to clear up the sinus infection and I’ve been using a neti pot for over a week now. I’ve been doing hot and cold compresses on my sinuses and gargling with warm salt water and then alternating with cold water. I may have gotten a little relief, but I wish there was a more permanent, lasting solution. Let me know. I really appreciate it. I am a caregiver to my father who had a stroke and my grandmother with dementia. I can’t afford to be sick, because I have too many people depending on me. It doesn’t help when almost everything I hear sounds distorted.
Namaste Dr. Sharma. Im 19 years old and I am suffering from ear problems since more than a month now. Last month my eardrum got pushed inwards due to congestion but it was cured with in 2 days. Then after half a month, both of my ears started feeling clogged. Doctor suggested this is happening because of allergies and gave me antibiotics (strong ones). Now 2 weeks after antibiotics, I am again feeling my left ear is little bit clogged, I am getting a lot of cough in throat coming from my ears and I am facing ringing sound in my ears. Please suggest me a solution I really need a permanent solution for this. Thankyou so much.
Hi,
My name is Kirtee. I’m 30 years old.
I had slight ear congestion due to cough and cold. After 2 days I had to travel via flight which lead to pain and increase in ear congestion.
ENT specialist explained me the cause of all this is mucus accumulation behind eardrum.
I have been under medication for 2-3 weeks, it has reduced considerably.
But the feeling of stuffyness in ear hasn’t gone completely.
It is 4th week.
I have been taking Silicea 30 since yesterday, as suggested for a week by my family’s homeopathic doctor. Also, I could see the name of this medicine here for eustachian ear problem.
Please help me understand how long it takes to go away.
I’m constantly thinking about it, unable to take my mind off, which in turn is giving rise to anxiety.
I know it heals on its own and will surely be cured.
But I’m unable to sleep well, sometimes I cry, and trouble everybody around me.
Need Help !!
