He talks like Charlie Sheen, thought he was going to recommended tiger blood.

frustrating!! Why can't anyone help me with this? :( It makes you nuts over time.

Doc, you should rename the title "How to drain patience in 2 & half mins".

[doniphanify]

I was looking for a video to instruct me how to get the fluid out of my ear, and happened upon an ASMR video instead. I'll send this to my sister. She'll love it

You didn't really talk about how to drain the fluid from your drum besides going to the doctor and getting tubes! Also you would think that an ear doctor would have learned by this point in time to talk a little bit louder!?!?!?

[saxon]

He's like a cross between Charlie Sheen & Rod Serling … you've just entered the area we call, the "The Nasal Zone!"

I've had middle ear fluid In both ears for the last nearly two years!! Doctor said there were "serous bubbles" I've been on Nasonex for a week now and I'm not really noticing any Improvement so far! I'm so annoyed I want this damn fluid to drain and return my hearing to normal!

[keaqan]

Thanks for saying the fluid almost always does go away. That was hopeful

Title says... How to Drain Liquid From Behind the Ear Drum

Well we are still waiting doc.... when ya gunna let the cat outta da bag?

[tomliemohn]

How about adults that have been dealing with this for months and the ENT is too busy to treat you?

[FloresLopez]

First off Im starting to just wanting punch my ear out since Im constantly sick and its bothersome to have a congested ear. Im surprised Ihave not poisoned myself taking so many meds for allergies because anything sets it off. If there was something to make my life easier with this nasty congestion. This drinking water stuff has not helped since I drink water and lot sof it. I just hate my life. I hate Sinusitis. 

[Secretzstolen]

How do you know if the fluid is infected or not???

[titianamcbride]

I am going through the same thing, I have fluid in both of my ears and even got the ear tube surgery and it seems to not be helping. I am off balance and I used to have slight vertigo. My PCP said that I developed allergies, but this is so annoying. I can hear, somewhat. It’s just so annoying, because it makes my anxiety skyrocket.

Ever since I had Covid my left ear has felt clogged, been almost a year now. Doctor doesn’t know why. He assumes I’ve damaged my hearing. I’m not so sure bc i pop my ears sometimes and it comes back for a few seconds then goes back to clogged

[jasonfischetti]

Dawg, I’m already deaf from fluid build up and you wanna explain this while whispering? Thanks m8, now have to hold the phone speaker to my damn head

[ElfenCried]

Popping ears for almost half a year. That and Tinnitus.

[paulj]

Mine so bad yesterday now I feel the fluid. It makes it hard to hear. But I can hear ringing. I know how you feel.

[kirstenmonahan]

Mine have been blocked (with hearing loss) for 3 years more or less. I have a ear popper on the way. I'm hoping that pressure equalisation combined with massage and vibration will get the thick blockages out!
