Eustachian Tube Blockage
Hello,
I am suffering from the blockage since 5-6 months and the problem due to this is that every time I swallow something the embarrassing snapping and popping sound comes from my left ear.
There is no pain or other symptoms.
I just want to get rid of it.
I have gone to local ENT specialists but they have prescribed the medicines which just did not work at all. I am taking Himalaya Septilin but then also no positive effect.
I have also gone through the impedance audiometry test which suggests the blockage in the left year.
Valsalva exercises are also not benefitting.
If I go for the surgery involving fitting of artificial tubes or balloon, will it totally resolve the issue?
Thanks.
