![]() ![]() Of all the treatments I've come across, the one that seems to offer most hope in my layman's eyes is the laser surgery. It might just be my perception / cynicism though. The only concern I have - and it may well be somewhat ill-founded - is that those who practice it *seem* - in my mind - to be a tad heavy in terms of marketing it. If I could get it done locally and affordably, I'd jump at the chance. What worries me is that my current blockage is on the left, whereas my previous problems have been on the right.īTW - I'm not totally convinced with Trigeminal Pharyngioplasty. It has thinned out the mucous, but the ear is still as blocked as ever. Just like you, I have been on Carbocisteine for about 8 days. ![]() I've just had a large meal (with plenty of chilli) and it felt that, with every chewing action, I was pumping mucous back up the tube. I went for a run an hour-or-so ago, which seemed to clear the tubes somewhat. I can't see why this would happen otherwise? Anyone? It takes a bit of ear popping to restore the situation. Whenever I swallow (say drinking a glass of water for example) my tubes block up and I go a bit deaf. I am convinced that my ET issues are muscular. It has definately made me produce more mucous but the ears are still the same. Mac I don't know about exspense I recon a 2 week holiday to the maldives diving 3 times a day should cost less than a course of hyperbaric treament.īTW, I have been on Carbocisteine for a few days and it hasn't really done anything. It was just an ex engineers suggested solution to the problem. One bloke even had a lump of lint come out and he had his sinuses scrapped or what ever you do to them 6 years before then. We are talking diving masks full to the brim with snot. ![]() Usually just a doubling from 10m to 0 is more than enough for the ears to creak and all the muck to dribble into your throat. If say you were blown down to 50m you would have a 5 fold increase in the volume of gas in the ear on the way up. They then sit there for a bit and then the chamber gets the pressure let off at a comfy rate. Gingernut you slowly compress the person in the chamber while they breath 100% O2. Remember that at pressure you don't actually need haemoglobin to transport oxygen to the cells so your not relying on just gaesous transport into the ear. ![]()
