Quite often lately when I wake up after
sleeping, one of my ears is slightly
buzzing and i can hear very badly on it.
This wouldn't be that special if I slept
on the ear all night, however this
problems continous throughout the whole
day. I was wondering how can I solve this
and whats actually happening to me,
because I can't properly concentrate when
it happens and then the other day its gone
and then it comes back again. Please help
me.
Thank you

For how long this is happening?
Do you feel ear pain?
Do you feel facial pain at the same side?
Have you suffered from a bad upper
respiratory infection recently?

Went to the doctor yesterday. Found out
that I had an infection in the eustachian
tube, it was probably connected to my
allergies and i also had something like a
flu. Thanks for the help anyways.

I guess you got your Eustachian tube
blocked or obstructed because of recent
cold (the most common cause is a "cold"
upper respiratory infection). Sinus
infections or allergies can also cause
swelling of the Eustachian tube. In other
words, a stuffy nose leads to stuffy ears.
Did you notice ear fullness or mild
hearing loss?
What treatment did you get?

I did have mild hearing loss, and ear
fullness, or more it seemed like my ears
couldn't depressurize, they perscripted me
with disophrol repetabs, I can't describe
it, as my mother tongue isn't english i
can't describe the exact effects, as i
don't know the exact terminology. Sorry.
What I know is that the medicine causes
confusion, and sometimes even nausea.
Thanks for all the help and effort by the
way.

The Eustachian tube connects the middle
ear space to the back of the nose. Its
primary function is to ventilate the
middle ear, ensuring that the pressure
inside the ear remains at near normal
ambient air pressure. The secondary
function of the Eustachian tube is to
drain any accumulated secretions,
infection, or debris from the middle ear
space. As Eustachian tube function
worsens, air pressure in the middle ear
falls, and the ear feels full and sounds
are muffled.
Antihistamines and decongestants, are
prescribed usually to treat this
condition.
