I have ears that are scarred from previous ear infections. When I cry, my ears pop and I can't hear.? |
The pressure builds up and becomes quite painful. Since moving from moist muggy Florida I don't get ear infections but a couple times a year. I live in dry Colorado. Anyhow, had some bad news, and I cried for a hour last night and can't hear now. The pressure was unbearable, I had to take advil in the middle of the night. Does anyone have a clue what this means? Do I have a perforated ear drum and my tears back up into it? Just wondering. Thanks! Does getting your ears tubed help? Yes my dear. You have congenital malformed eustachian tubes. You may notice one side is worse than the other. These tubes connect the middle ear to the nose. They are responsible from equalizing atmospheric pressure between the outside world and your middle ear. They are very very small. If there is a defect in them then one of the effects is to trap fluid in the middle ear. With that comes a striking increase in history of middle ear infections. The wet weather of florida is worse than dry and that is why you are doing better in the west. A complication to your problem is topical allergies. The nose is a clearing house by your immune system to trap allergens. If your blockage is enhanced by allergens to your nose then topical treatment by corticosteriod sprays can be very beneficial. However, their is a long term risk on those, eg cataracts, etc. One treatment is to put tubes into the ear drums. You need to know that you are at risk down the line to become deaf earlier than someone else. I have the same problem, but to a lesser degree. I use topical steroids on bad times; e.g. spring and fall. I also have had early lens replacement becasuse of cataracts, and I use a hearing aid now. Maybe a high speed MRI can show where the ducts are plugged? ENT MD would tell you if that is possible now. I too have scarred inner ears from many infections since childhood. I get a similar reaction when there has been pressure put on my sinus/inner ear. For example, airplanes, rollercoasters, coughing, sneezing. |
