(contd)...
A number of them said it could be an infection. Obviously it isn't, because i havent even had a cold since 2005 (when it struck me), but these symptoms remain. But anyway, at three seperate times i went on antibiotics. Amoxycillin, doxycycline, erothromycin. noen did anything. I used several steroid decongestants over the bulk of the two and a half years. Nothing doing. When i told the last doctor i saw this (in September), he scoffed and said that if they didnt work, then i must be making it up. (some asshole doctor at supposedly one of the best NHS hospitals for ENT - The Royal Free).
Six months later - oh look at what's on the front page of the BBC News website - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7294244.stm
--------------------
anyway, i'm probably rambling. But yes, i have the same symptoms you do, in both ears. Blocked, my hearing is mow muddy, feels like it has extra bass. Feels like airplane pain. (OH BTW DON'T GO ON AN AIRPLANE LIKE THIS. If you're lucky, you'll only have extreme pain taking off and landing. If you're unlucky - because your eustachian tubes are blocked and can't equalise the pressure - your eardrums will burst.) 11 doctors and over 2 years later - nothing resolved, only worsened. And ive spent so much on medicines and private consultations.
So just keep this stuff in mind when you see your doctor about it.
