What could be causing pressure in my ear

I have the EXACT same thing... When the pressure is there, it can flux with blowing my nose or strong inhales or exhales. For example, I can HEAR my exhale as if wind is passing by my inner ear...

It is annoying.I had the humming and now i have ear pressure too.But its only been there for one day or less.Still.Soon you will get used to this humming,insha allah.

I have the same problem but it went away for a long time....this may sound a bit out there, but I haven't had peanut butter since that time....I just ate some peanut butter with jelly on a cracker and I got the same pressure in the left ear ....I try the best I can to listen to my body to feel what is happening...just like you, I do not like take any medications..for the longest time I am trying to pay attention to what I am eating.

Wow it coming back like that sucks :/ specially after you had 3 months of peace.May god help you :)
And the whole thing about you noticing every noise is some kind of a psychological issue i read about it somewhere but i forget the name.It causes sensitivity to day to day noises? Hyperacusis i think.You might get it from Tinnitus.

Are you frigging kidding me? I psychological issue? Take you answer and shove that in your ear until it pressuizes and rings and inflames. This is a real issue. I believe it is allergies. I battled inflamations with my allergies for years. I had every doctor tell me I was CRAZY. It took a good old fashion 85 year old doctor tell me to get to an allergist after being told by hot shot young doctors I was a nut case. I am heading back to the allergist and going back on shots. I believe it is a MOLD allergy. Since it gets worst when it is damp.

P.S. I believe in God. However he didn't do anything to help the plague victims in the dark ages did he? God gave us brains to do it our selves. Lets find the cause of this so NO ONE has to suffer with this ear pressure thing. ALLERGIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARLENEKUSH:  Can you please get in touch w/me?  I've had this problem for almost 2 years and have been to my gen'l practitioner, ENT, homeopathic doctor, acuncturist, reiki, everything I can think of and nothing has worked.  I found a chiropractor but he doesn't specialize in upper cervical.  Before I have him treat me, I'd like to speak w/you.  Is there any way I can communicate w/you privately?  Please, I need help here.

Have you been checked for sleep apnea? I had weird dreams & nightmares, gastric issues, anxiety, fullness on ears, & always felt tired. Come to find out I have sleep apnea.

In fact you are very close to the fact.

There are two aspects to the problems. Eustusian tube and allergy. If eustusian tube is always open , it makes you hear loud noises, which people think that you are hulicnating and if eustestian tube does not opens when you swallow, the pressure on both sides of eardrum is not equalized whichleads to ear pressure and temp hearing loss.

Please don't unergo any kind of surgery as it does not need one.

Take care,
Kumar

Hi
Can you please tell me how to access this you tube video

I notice that this was a year ago that you posted this. Are you still having the problem? Im asking because my husband has been having the same thing for about 6 YEARS and no one seems to no whats wrong. We have been to about 9 different (and types) of Dr.'s. I feel horrible for him. He got bit by a spider just under his ear about 6 years ago. I thought that might have been the problem. Did anything like that happen to you?

I have the same problem with my ears! ..... Pressure that comes and goes on a weekly bases! .... I find going down into the basement of my home causes ear pressure!! .... I feel no pain, just pressure! ..... I pop my ears but with no relief!
Away from Home, the pressure goes away!! ...... I have a Fireplace in the basement of my Home, I believe there is sort of a vacum caused by the Fireplace sucking out the ambiant air of my basement!! .... The only explanation I have for my ear problem!! ....... Weird!! ..... Real wierd!!

Superior Canal Dehiscence

I have had this problem since past 4 months.

Pseudophed helps a lot. Most of the ENT out there are nut case, they are looking for information from you and dont know what is happening.

Some of the activities that i had started before was cleaning bathroom, vacuuming, utensils deligently to help my wife. I used Lysol wipes and clorox. I am from India and i am used to sleep with noise,  I had a fan that would keep blowing in summer and I stopped it and the next day it was broken by my kid. Since then I would start hearing strange noises and I found it is related to the fluid in the ear. I had ear pressure in both my ears, got waxed cleaned up with ENT. I did an audiologist test recommended by ENT again.

I have high allergies. I was recommended Nasonex, claritin, cetrizine and singulair at point I take all of them. I have started with shots.

For me to get good sleep I start with my head propped (using the Boppy) but by the end of night I need to turn on right or left because my back hurts. So depending on how comfortable I slept previous night I may have build up fluid.

I saw a video on You Tube which is related with ear massage and lymph node massage which helps getting the fluid down.

I pray regularly as part of Islam, which gets me to the position to bow down where your forehead is touching the groun and I can hear the fluid.

I somehow feel that this has to do with allergy and functioning of lymp nodes or nervous system where your body is retaining much fluid. I have lost 30 pounds since past 4 months. You have to watch over your diet in order not to build fluid which your body is building.

I will be going next to Chiropractor and see if there is any recommendation.

I am going to study more about how fluid system works in body.

Contact me by replying to this post we can talk.

I have had ear problems since I was a toddler. My ear drums got infected and then burst and became perforated when I was 4 years old or so and I've had trouble since. I'm constantly popping my ears, sometimes my ear drums hurt horribly.If I get water in them sometimes I can barely hear for days. I've been told its due to allergies.
