Yes, for 3 years my right eustacian tube hs remained dilated which makes it almost impossible to hear out of that side. It constantly has an “echo” type effect to it. I went to about 8 doctors until I got a reasonable diagnosis. Finally the one specialist asked if I lost a lot of weight recently, which I did lose 85 pounds. Apparently that was the cause of mine. Normally it is closed but mine didn’t adjust to the weight loss and was staying open. He put me on medication & nasal spray which solved about 80% of the occurrence. Hope this helps- Good Luck!

Hi daisy

Sorry to hear you have suffered for so long I haven't had a confirmed diagnosis but I am seeing a specialist tomorrow after having a mri scan in December which showed up nothing my two doctors I have seen are clueless it is only a article I have found is so similar to certain feeling

Many thanks miche
