Deafness like when flying in left ear. Lasted for hours nothing helped. Pain down my neck from the ear.
ENT said intermittent ET issue. Gave no advice whatsoever. I was actually deaf in that ear at the appointment.
It drove me batshit for months but eventually eased and went away. It comes back when I have a cold or blocked sinus
I feel your pain as a fellow anxiety sufferer

I had ETD about 20 years ago. I went to the doctor as I was losing my hearing and thought I needed an ear syringe. He diagnosed ETD and said it could possibly clear itself up and if not I could have grommets fitted.

I steamed for a couple of weeks and it did clear itself. Prior to this (and since) I’ve always had trouble and pain with my ears when flying.
