Ear Fullness, Clicking & Ringing | Eustachian Tube Dysfunction ETD w/ Exercises & Acupressure |

If you suffer from clogged ears that feel plugged or a fullness that is difficult to clear, this video and my Eustachian Tube Dysfunction ETD Q&A video are great places to start. A lot of people report muffled hearing, popping or clicking in the ears or even have tinnitus or ringing in the ears that has been helped by these simple exercises focused on eustachian tube dysfunction or, as it can be called, auditory tube dysfunction.
I am often asked if people should fly in a airplane with ETD and the inability to clear their ears with altitude. This can sometimes result in pain in the ears and even damage. So, proceed with caution and perform these ear exercises 2 times per day.

There is no promise here but a lot of clinical success.

These exercises may help resolve ETD and they are an adjunct to our in-office therapy.
For more info on other modalities, look at the ETD Q&A video:

Here is a link to the 2006 study on an acupuncture point that helps with tinnitus:
The directions for this point in the study were "The ACP point used in the patients in the Study Group is located 6.5 cm above the apex of the ear in the temporo-parietal region."

TMD or Temporomandibular Dysfunction or jaw issues can play a role in ear problems as they are closely related. Also, try our TMJ videos for possible help with your ears:

*Note- There is a good chance you will have some intestinal symptoms with the protocol as some of your gut bacteria die off, others are encouraged to proliferate and your microbiome becomes more diverse. If the symptoms are too much, back off to a lighter dose and wait until the symptoms lessen before you jump to the higher dose.

I've been trying tons of these massages on YouTube to relieve my tinnitus in one ear. I cried when I finished this one because my tinnitus dissipated almost to non-existence 😭 the relief I'm feeling is wild!! Even if it comes back, knowing it's a drainage/fluid issue is so comforting. I never comment, but just hope this might convince someone else to take the 15 minutes and try this 💖

[blenumsphere]

As a musician tinnitus has ruined my life for the last month, I genuinely can't imagine how people live with this for years or their whole lives, it's been hell. I did this video once and my tinnitus has reduced by half, I managed to actually sleep and I'm now starting to feel a sense of hope. I can't thank you enough. Please don't lose hope if you're reading this.

[absolutelynothingtoseehere]

Love how you just jump into it without time-wasting introductions.

[brendarodriguez]

If we weren’t both already married, I would propose to you. THANK YOU!! You have changed my life. I have been in and out of doctors, spending money I really can’t afford to spend. Nobody has been able to do anything for me. I have been going insane. I came across this video, have been doing the massages for a couple of weeks, and it is the ONLY thing that has brought me relief. My headaches, dizziness, and pressure in my ears are slowly going away. Thank you thank you thank you!

[sagarpaudel]

people who have tinnitus due to the weak nerve system of ear . I take the cortilone 30 mg tab for 3 days with pantop for gastric. Now I am completely cured.

[tonstar]

After five or six weeks of weirdness in my ears following a string of colds flues etc, I found myself strangely off balance. Doing these exercises now for five weeks straight has done absolute wonders. I thank God he showed me your videos as I was getting pretty desperate and overthinking things! Each day I see things getting better and better! Its all almost completely and totally gone.

[vlhzxks]

I'm utterly blown away with the relief I feel after 2 frustrating weeks (and many tears) of right ear fullness, hearing loss, tinnitus, and that awful feeling of fluid sloshing around in my head. I tried decongestants, antihistamines, neti pot, and a plethora of natural ear drops composed of this and that, all to no avail. After doing this protocol only twice (so far), I felt a lot of 'stuff' moving around my sinuses while out on my dog hike this afternoon. I could literally feel the pressure in my head dissipating as things crackled and popped their way through my ears, nose and throat. This evening I feel nothing but gratitude for the Universe bringing me to you, Dr. Adam. Not only does your protocol work, but your compassionate and joyful delivery gave me the hope I needed to transcend the debilitating discomfort and depression associated with just plain feeling gross. Thank you Adam, from the immensity of all my heart.

[ptushkin]

I was skeptical, but this works. In two weeks of daily exercises my ear fullness and tinnitus reduced down to almost non-noticeable. Thank you very much, this is such a relief!

[shikharpratapsingh]

I can't believe I just tried it once and now i can completely hear silence and sleep peacefully i cried with happiness tysm ❣️❣️

[jamieducharme]

I dealt with weeks of clogged ears, muffled hearing, and tinnitus after an ear infection. Your videos helped more than any medication my doctor prescribed. Thank you so much!

[carmenojeda]

I literally ask God to help me heal from an ear infection and the aftermath. Quite frankly I was frustrated and in pain. Looked for video online and came accross your video. I feel 80% of the pain go away and the clogged feeling went away. Thank you Dr. Adam your time is beyond appreciated. Your video makes me believe that miracles happen and I am feeling happy in less than 20 minutes.. Thank you again and may God bless you and your family..

I've suffered intermittently with ear issues, particularly my left ear with feelings of fullness, pain, hearing loss, feeling my ear drum vibrate to voices on TV etc. I stumbled upon this video out of desperation. I did the exercises and boy, my ear is no longer drumming along in time to the sound of external noises and voices on TV. I am totally amazed. I'm so hoping I've finally got on top of the issue for good. It has been so distressing living like this for a number of years!! Thank you 😊

[wusjeed]

Wow, this really helped me. My ears suddenly clogged and the sound in one ear became strange and lost all low frequencies. Went to the doctor and determined it was Eustachian ear dysfunction. I got a nasal spray and Zyrtec. It helped then it came back the next day. I found this video the next day and did it once before bed and drank a bunch of water after. Woke up returned to normal. Have repeated each day since and it has not returned. Thank you.

[CL-mnyq]

Tears of relief!!! Been a long day seeing (getting passed to) third ENT - Two surgeries for ear drum hole (still open), years of decongestants and I'm lying here now with a bit of relief from crackling and a break from trying to pop ears. Thank you!

[pamgibbons]

I started the humming part, my dogs came running. They were cocking their heads. I was laughing so hard at them I had to start over.

[arlierichards]

Wow! This is the first time I've had relief from Tinnitus! I used to have TMJ therapy when I had extended medical and since then no one seemed to recognize the importance of the ear/neck/throat area. The humming also helps with the pineal gland. Thanks. Glad I finally found you.

[ckemesha]

I cried see your video... Where did you come from sir😢 😊. Thanks be to God! I struggle with Tinnitus for 8yrs are so now. It is now at the point where my hearing is affected. I'm now in the process of waiting for an hearing aid, very costly. I wish i had seen your video before going ahead with the aide. This is my first time seeing your video. I have done the exercise haven't felt anything yet but i feel positive that something will happen with time and patience. Proclaiming the word of God and using your exercise i believe will bring great benefits. I will keep you posted. God bless you and keep posting.🎉🎉

[excismos]

I've been plagued with an intermittent blocked eustachian tube for years, and had been offered the fitting of a stent. This would mean the puncturing of an ear drum, and as a brass playing musician I wasn't keen on having this procedure in case the the ear drum didn't grow back properly.
I tried the first exercise in this video and have found that the issue has largely gone, almost instantaneously, I can hardly believe it!
Thank You!

[jeannineholker]

after a lifetime of ear trauma and 7 ruptured ear drums your positivity and achievable self care instruction is life altering, thank you so much
some darkness has lifted x

[rcczpjb]
