WG has uncovered some interesting stuff here....
Mac and
ginge, you seem to have differing opinions but it would be very helpful for all of us if you could both offer an opinion on this and the Trigeminal Pharyngioplasty ...
My ENT surgeon was VERY dubious when I suggested any surgery of the ET itself....as far as he was concerned such things are rarely successful but I am encouraged by looking at the material that
WG has uncovered.
BTW, I have been on Carbocisteine for a few days and it hasn't really done anything. It has definately made me produce more mucous
but the ears are still the same.
I am convinced that my ET issues are muscular. Whenever I swallow (say drinking a glass of water for example) my tubes block up and I go a bit deaf. It takes a bit of ear popping to restore the situation. I can't see why this would happen otherwise???? Anyone??
