Maybe it's the dust in the atmosphere in Limassol?

We've had a lot of dust here for the last few weeks, near Coptic conditions. (google Cyprus Coptic gales)

I too have been suffering for about the same duration (Pafos based)

Eustachian tube dysfunction class1

Hello everyone,

I have been suffering from eustachian tube dysfunction for a few years. I have crackling sound in my both ears, when swallowing, eating or drinking. Has anyone had this problem before? And is it a problem for class-1? Sometimes when flying, it may give pain.

Thank you.

Go see an ENT specialist! You can worry about your medical later.

I have read it. Nothing is concerned with flight and dysfunction issue. Ent specialists tried a few treatment ways. But those did not work at all. Any suggestion?

Likely won't do much.

Hie thee to the local swimming pool, read a little about the Valsalva manuver, and practice it whilst swimming to progressively deeper depths.

It works both ways, that is, you can hold your nose and sniff too.

If you can't clear your ears once you're able to develop enough pressure in your nasopharnyx to make little bubbles come out your nasolacrimal ducts, you need to be on Afrin and Flonase.
