Hi doctor, I have been having resonance in the ear and nose since three months now. It all started with a bad sinus attack. I got my IgE test done and the result shows level 1000. Also, I had an MRI. It showed some polyps in the maxillary sinus. I had also got an NCV test, which showed slight palsy in the right ear and that is the same ear with the resonance. I hear myself loudly. While talking through the nose, it seems to be reaching the ear. What could be causing this? I have attached all the reports.
Hi. I understand your concern. Due to prolong and severe sinusitis, your eustachian tube got edematous. This in turn had developed negative pressure in the middle ear. This stage is named as eustachian catarrh. In your case, this had progressed to secretary otitis media and you are getting echoes of spoken words and blocked ear. For you, the treatment is as follows: Probably, you will feel better with the above treatment. If not, then please consult your ENT specialist and ask for grommet insertion on your ear drum.
