@katie6a: First, this was before I lost 20lbs 😂 I adore my ENT. HE IS THE BEST! He’s placed at least 10 tubes for me and when you have such a severe case of PETD, it is life changing. I hate getting new tubes, but I LOVE getting them because I know it’s worth it every time. Don’t be scared! I recorded this because another ENT refused to put a tube in for me locally claiming she didn’t believe my diagnosis was correct… funny thing is SHE PLACED MY FIRST TUBE AND PUT ME TO SLEEP TO DO IT! She was money hungry. This procedure takes less than 5 minutes total. #eartubes #ent #eardrum #eustachiantube #eustachiantubedysfunction

Aren’t tympanostomy tubes for Eustachian tube dysfunction, not Patulous Eustachian tube? Surely it would make the Eustachian tube more Patulous and worsen symptoms tenfold?

I loved having my tubes.. helps me so much with swimmers ear but ..what i get it from may make it worse..which is sleeping on it! but uh the relief of a tube placement when the clicking when u swallow is done ..for only a year .but then different docs say my kids tube is still there or not there. always different. they so lazy its like they refuse to look longer than 1sec!

Ok I’m real curious as to what all your symptoms were, did you have any fluctuations with hearing? Like hear one day good & muffled the next?

I had my first tube placed 2 days ago- wasn’t bad at all. Praying all is well with your placement.

Hello! I have read about people having muffled worst hearing after placing them. And that’s the only reason I’m afraid to do it. Any opinions on that? 🥺

I will be getting my 2nd one done after having it removed back when I was a teenager. Apparently my Eustachian tube is completely swollen shut and refuses to open no matter what we try. I’m also getting a Osia Cochlear implant in my other ear at the same time the tube will be placed. Gonna be a long surgery but I’m so ready for some relief and hearing in my non hearing ear 😭

I was just diagnosed with this in both of my ears and all the doctor told me was I basically have to live with it 😭 he said to try taking potassium iodine or iodide drops with juice daily and it “might help” but I left with more questions than answers.. living with it the rest of my life is NOT an option.. because it’s been an all day every day thing for MONTHS and I’m at my breaking point feeling like I’m in a fish bowl when I breathe and talk 😭 I can’t even blow my nose without extreme pressure in my ears!

I just got my tube put in and everything sounds muffled. I’m freaking out that I made the wrong decision. They say 7-10 days for ear drum to get back to normal. 😬

Do you have Patulous ETD? You’re so calm about the air coming through your ear. How does this not drive you insane? And how does Puting a hole in the eardrum help the PETD?
