Dude. I don’t know if you make any money off these videos but Iv learned more from you than all my ent and neurology doctors combined. The next step for me is balloon dilation and I’m terrified that it might worsen my symptoms so I’m gonna hit it hard with all of your exercises.
I've not eaten any gluten, dairy, or sugar for 3 weeks, added Kefir and bone broth to my diet, very clean eating - and my ETD and resulting tinnitus (of 2.5 months due to allergies?) has slowly been improving. I also do one of the two massage videos you have posted 1-2x per day. I hope I continue to get better.
Dr. Fields, I cant thank you enough. I have suffered from clogged eustachian tubes off and on for many years. Recently, I've had a clogged eustachian tube for about a month and 1/2. So, I finally went to a local doctor and they told me to take some Zyrtec. Well, that didn't work. So, today I found you and started watching some of your videos. The first video was on messaging different part parts of the ears and skull. So I did that. Then I started watching another one of your videos and honestly half way through the other video I started to get mucus drainage from the messaging technique that I had learned from you just minutes before. Wow!!!! It was so simple, but so effective! I almost cant believe it. Thank you so much. I like that you want people to be more self sustainable when it comes to their health. That's a true sign of a good person.
Thx Dr. Feels you are a God sent ENT locally did not work thank you so much for helping me with the exercises I feel so good you have saved me time and money. May God bless and keep you Dr. Fields..
It's taken me a while to realize this is what I've been dealing with. This is the first time in my life with all these strange symptoms. And now I've made a major break-through in discovering your channel. Maybe we can deal with this after all! Thank you so much for these videos. I now have some knowledge, some techniques, and some hope!
My TMJ has gotten better! It went form my orthodontist telling me my mouth will stay with the two fingers opening which I refused to believe, to now having the full range of motion.. but now Tinitus is being the issue, my ears always feel "full" and with pressure.. this really helped a lot! I can even feel fluid moving around that area.. I loved this video because it also targets the TMJ. Thank you so much for your uplifting and positive videos
My ent doctor told me there was nothing he could do for my tinnitus. I have always used a wholes-tic method when it comes to my health. Using this techniques today has reduced my tinnitus. Your expertise is greatly needed and appreciated. Thanks for you compassion.
Women be aware that perimenopause can cause ear problems due to the drying up of mucus membranes. Estrogen falling affects ENT so much and can cause tinitus , clogged ears, sore ears, itchy ears and hot ears....perimenopause can also affect sinuses and increase allergies due to dryness and this can cause problems with ears like infections etc. Ive been suffering so much because of this lesser know symptom of perimenopause. Never had so much problems now with my ears. So much pain, infection, blocked up...😢
VERY good comment. I imagine you are seeking care from a naturopathic doctor that knows women's health. I really should get a full history before tossing something like this out there but look up hyaluronic acid supplementation. I have used it for women in your circumstance. If you'd like to dig deeper, let's get together on zoom: fieldsfamilychiro.janeapp.com/locations/telehealth/book#staff_member/1
@@dradamfields I was just making women aware of this lesser known symptom of perimenopause/menopause as so many women suddenly start suffering ENT symptoms at this stage in life and don't join the dots. It may not be the reason but just a consideration. I'm in the UK and cannot afford fees of private consults but I'm getting help from my own medical services but like you said, ear problems are difficult and especially for women who's ear problems are hormonal. Thanks for the reply and suggestions.
Thank you so much for posting this- I have been suffering for months and had not made the connection btx dry tissue and perimenopause. I bought the hyaluronic acid supplement at sprouts for $20 and within a few days my head/ears felt such relief. God bless you❤
I am so happy to find your videos!! I have had a problem in my right Eustachian tube for over a decade. It ruptured my eardrum and it acts up over time causing my ears to block and now that I found your videos I will am using the massage techniques for temporary relief and will do the oil pulling. I recently started having cheese and milk and I think that’s causing the inflammation now. Thank you so much!! You are a God send.
OMG!!! So HAPPY I found you! Been suffering with my left ear feeling clogged and Tinnitus. Feeling like there is no help😢. I decided to change my diet and went out today, will try everything you have recommended. THANK YOU for taking the time to help!!!!
I have the same feeling of clogged and tinnitus. I feel like if I can get rid of the cloggyness then I would have some relief from the T. Hope you find some relief and please let me know if anything worked for you.
Hi Katrina, I had the exact same problem as you for years and got rid of it by using the following: 1. Low histamine diet 2. Ancestral supplement colostrum (6 pills/day) 3. Omne Diem DAO (1 capsule enzyme) 4. Seeking Health | ProBiota HistaminX (1 a day) I got my problem after a Keto Diet and consuming Garden of Life probiotics. This will heal your gut and give you back your health, don’t eat: Pineapple, vinegar, spinach, tea (black-green), coffee, chocolate (specially dark), yoghurt or fermented foods. Just google histamine foods and avoid them, all do I consume them now that I have cured my problem and symptoms are gone after 6 months of doing the above, best of luck hope you can benefit from my experience.
Thank you so much Dr. Fields. You are a life saver. My doctor told me there's nothing they can do about my eustacian tubes collapsing except to take drugs. I'm doing the exercises you recommend & already I'm feeling some relief. I know with time my eustachian tube will be healed. Thank you again for your awesome advice. 🌻
I know you posted this video about two years ago. But you are so awesome for helping so many people and myself… have gotten great relief… i’ve had two surgeries many many years ago. Don’t really recall what the actual diagnosis is but I know I do have a malformed mastoid bone in something to do with my eustachian tubes that creates suction and makes my eardrum cone shaped. On and off through my entire life I have this clogged feeling it comes and it goes , Thank God, but your massage techniques are amazing.
Thank you first of all… I have had tinnitus for the last six months. I do not want to have this ringing in my ears for 17 or 18 years like a few of my friends have dealt with… I’ve been listening to your videos. I’ve been doing the exercises in hopes that the ringing will subside somewhat… I’ve only been watching for eight days, and I’ve learned so much from you… I have shared your videos with lots of my friends and they have done some of the videos and said it has helped them with things like headaches and breathing better.. so I will let you know if the ringing calms down after watching a few more of your videos… But I will tell you, I did watch just one of your video of dry eyes and that actually helped me immediately… So thank you
Thank you so much for sharing, Doris! I truly hope you find some relief for your tinnitus ringing. If you're available and open to it, I offer telehealth services and would love to meet with you for a virtual appointment. Here's a link: fieldsfamilychiro.janeapp.com/locations/telehealth/book#/staff_member/1/treatment/2
I got tinnitus after covid recovery and I’ve been coming back to both of your videos addressing tinnitus and/or Eustachian tube dysfunction. They’ve greatly helped alleviate the symptoms. I have good days and bad days, but these tips and the exercises in the other video reduced the severity of the noise to a manageable level. (I can sleep!) Your charisma makes these videos easy to watch repeatedly. Hope we eventually get some new tinnitus content from you. I think the amount of people who came out of covid with tinnitus and neuropathic conditions are underreported. Although our condition may not be sinus related, you definitely helped me. Thank you so much
Yes, Harate, a lot of post COVID and COVID Shot tinnitus coming into my office. And, yes, it's time for another ETD video. More coming in the next 2 weeks.
@@dradamfields Thank you Harate for your thoughts. Now I realize that I was not crazy by thinking that this horrible noises in my head were consequence of the COVID I had since your case is similar to mine. I am desperate but at the same time have hopes since I am not the only one in this situation.
@@dradamfields are the tinnitus videos available? I'm having trouble finding those specific for tinnitus. Thank you! Please don't stop sharing your positive energy and wisdom. Thanks for giving us hope 🙏
Thank you for this!! Have had diagnosed with chronic rhinitis/ sinusitis / ear infection multiple times along with asthma. tired of feeling weird from ear infections. Stumbled upon this and tried it even though I was laughing thru it, it worked. It's draining! Yay!
Which method did you try? I feel horrible off and on every day. Like there is mucus or pressure maybe that builds and won't leave. Mostly in my ears. I was diagnosed with chronic sinusitis almost 2 years ago and none of the drugs they had me try did anything. I don't want the drugs anyway
@@robolyn I just started at the beginning of this video. I have to admit I felt silly and kept laughing thru it but as I continued to follow along, I noticed it started draining and continued to drain for the rest of the evening.
I have been dealing with severe ear aches for the past two years. I found your videos yesterday. I started doing the exercises on your videos yesterday and it is already helping. thank you.
@@LeslieKlinger Thanks Leslie for responding. I'm in agony right now. This has even affected my marriage.... :( I was wondering because I thought he had a few on Eustachian tube dysfunction,??? I've tried so many exercises on different websites and none have helped me. You are so sweet to take the time to try and help me. You had mentioned (videos) and I guess that's why I was confused. Is there a way you can give me the exact title of the video? One more question. How long has it taken to help you and what did the exercises actually do? Were your ears clogged. Thanks again and Healing Hugs Leslie.
Bless you! I've been getting a tremendous amount of help from both yours and Dr. Mandell's Video's here on TH-cam. I have ringing in my ears and clogged up Eustachian Tubes and doctors have been of no help to me. Even the Ear Specialist took my $225.00 to spend three minutes with me and tell me that there was nothing that he could do for me. You have no idea how much your videos have helped me, I thank you with all of my heart. And by the way, swishing the coconut oil is not pleasant but wow, it really works! Thank you so much!
@@shycourgette Yes it did, it helped me to clear out a lot of mucus. Sounds weird I know, I didn't believe it either until I tried it but it does work. Beware though that it may make you gag at first. I have another suggestion for you, something that I just tried last night and it really helped me so I've been having success with it all day. I had some of those nasal sticks for stuffy noses in my bathroom and I used one and kept switching from one nostril to the other for like two hours and wow, that really made a difference and it helped me to clear out a lot of congestion and even brought down the volume of my ringing which is being caused by my clogged Eustachian Tubes. I'm not a doctor, I don't know if it's safe so do your own investigating but this is working for me and I'm going to keep at it!! I also just purchased a personal steamer with menthol pads which gives some relief and I tried a nasal balloon today and that helped a lot! (It's called Otovent but I made my own version so that I could have it today) So there are a few different ideas for you to try and I'll pray that one of them helps you. I feel your suffering! ..... Tonya
@@darthmom3960 Tonya thank you so much for your answer and for the lovely words. I will try everything and something must help isn't it. It is incredible how little we need to be happy... I wish you all the best too.
Woah…I thought this was my normal ear because I’ve had it since I was a kid, but as I’ve been practicing singing I have become frustrated that I cannot hit my higher register even though I’ve been trying for 10+ years. Something is preventing me from “letting go” when I sing and I realize it’s a Eustachian tube problem I believe. I’ve been clogged in my right ear since I was a child and every time I “blow it open” it just closes back up. I am definitely going to be doing these exercises daily. Thank you!!
Thank God with this help I'm completely healed now. I had clogged ear for almost a month because of chronic ear infection (otitis) I keep the exercises for about 6days, twice or sometimes 3 times a day, + proper diet, then suddenly all the mucus drained, it came out one after another I feel instant relieved. Thank you doc. Field. God bless you. x
I usually get ear crackling when I swallow and it makes me overwhelmed because of my autism. You literally make it so much better and I can't thank you enough.
been a month since my bad cold left my right ear stuffed. I usually can easily pop my ears during altitude changes ( I live in mountains, travel to the valley.) I have lost about 75% of my hearing in that ear, no pain. I'll ne doing these exercises and report back. ❤️🙏❤️
Hi again, Doctor Fields! Thanks so much for your response to my comment on your other ETD video! I actually have watched this one as well haha. Firstly, thank you so much for helping so many people who aren't even your own patients. I live in Syracuse, New York- not a huge city, but not a small one either. We also have many hospitals in the area, so I figured finding an ENT to help me would be simple. Boy, I was wrong. I have called and called and called- nobody here deals with EDT! So I have been using your videos religiously in attempt to help myself. My issues started back in 2017 when I, out of the blue, had a severe case of idiopathic angioedema. For roughly six months, I would wake up every other day with a random part of my body so swollen I had to go to the hospital. I was on prednisone for roughly a year and have only had a few issues since. The only lasting damage has been to the tubes in my ears. I don't think I have tinnitus because I only hear a crackling sound and feel fullness when I swallow. Thankfully, I am not in any pain, either. But it has been incredibly frustrating- it is to the point where it is now effecting my day to day life. I plug my ears whenever I have to swallow because I don't want to hear the crackle or feel the fullness. I was lucky enough to find your channel and have watched everything you have uploaded (not just ear issues!). I have had sinus problems my entire life so I find a lot of your information valuable. And I feel like I am so close, but just can't quite pass the finish line! I have done every technique you showed us in your first video and it feels like things are trying to move in there. I bought a device called a eustachi, but that hasn't helped. I have had doctors flush my ears with no breakthroughs. I have tried ear drops, ear wax remover drops, hydrogen peroxide all with no help. I have taken OTC allergy meds literally every day which haven't made the problem worse, but haven't made it better. I have taken hearing tests and pass them easily, so my doctors shrug me off and say there isn't anything we can do. Some days are better than others. I psychologically tell myself I won't let it bother me, but it is getting more and more difficult. I have gotten into the habit where I clench my teeth as hard as I can because I can hear it crackle, but that isn't helping. I have dug into my canal until I bleed out of frustration. Nobody here will help me so I don't know what to do anymore. I had one moment I will never forget- I yawned and my left ear completely opened for maybe 30 seconds. As awful as it sounds, I don't remember being happier in my life than I was at that moment. But then it went right back to the fullness and crackling. Sorry for rambling, but it is almost therapeutic to tell a Doctor who truly cares. It is also amazing seeing how many people suffer from the same issue I do. Knowing I am not alone gives me hope somebody will be able to cure this. Thank you again, Doctor. If you ever find yourself traveling through Syracuse, let me know!
I feel you. I’ve had the same issue. Almost exactly. A little bit of pain though. Mine started after I had COVID. I’ve had the balloon dilation procedure which seemed to have helped for about a month. But the crackling and pressure is back. I’m nervouse about having tubes put in my ears because there is slight risks and the lack of help from the balloon procedure hurts my confidence. Praying for the both of us. Lmk if you’ve found relief somehow.
Wooow lovely!! So valuable information, and the way you say things and give support is just fabulous. Thank you Dr. Fields. I think that developing self-sustainment and self-care is just the best way to approach it.
@@dradamfields We have the power yes. It is great to find leaders like you and also find our way and keep going with what we know (wich enlarges everyday)
I get plugged ears every summer here in Michigan during our high humid summers. I tried your suggestions, and I am seeing results. (Much better results than Amoxicillin or Steroids.) Thank you Adam Fields DC!
Hello from Australia Adam! Great video, I’ll add some of these techniques to my regime, including your ETD exercises. However I am feeling with something that seems to be a big unique. My Eustachian tubes, sphenoid and left maxillary sinus became inflamed approx 20 months ago. Recently I’ve been able to extract copious amounts of hard debris from my right eustachian and some from the sphenoid. They resemble tonsil stones, but ENT has confirmed my tonsils and adenoids are not inflamed and not the cause of the stones. I’ve worked closely with a chiro, naturopath and nutritionist to reduce inflammation. However it’s a very slow process, my left eustachian won’t budge and the sphenoid is stubborn. The right eustachian is completely empty up to the isthmus which is too constrictive to allow the tympanic cavity to clear. Any ideas how I could get the hard build-up out of that area? Could you tell me more about the oxygen treatment for fungi please? Where can I source it and how do I ensure I don’t breathe it into the lungs when spraying into the nose? Kind regards Kristie
Hi Kristie, I would find someone who does endonasal cranial adjusting. Here is a good video that covers ozone therapy. th-cam.com/video/wH-G0ou3mpE/w-d-xo.html
Wonderful exercises in your previous video and I so appreciate your perspective of taking charge of you own health. I'm having terrible ringing in my left ear and trying anything I can to address the problem. You have given me hope! Thank you..
I always used to have terrible pain when ever I took a flight. On one occasion, when I had a head cold, I had a ruptured ear drum from the failure of pressure to equalise in my ears during a flight. Now I start taking anti-histamines and decongestents a few days before I fly and all seems to be good.
Since I have problems with hearing the sound here is too quiet for me. I wish it were louder for easier listening. Information is quite useful though, thank you!
Thanks Adam for the awesome tips! Our friend was actually telling us about ozone therapy last week before I got a gnarly ear infection. Good timing… :)
Hi there! Professional trumpet player here with bad TMJ. These videos have helped TREMENDOUSLY! Can you suggest anyone in Chicago who does this type of chiropractic care?
So disallusioned with GP,s (UK) they seem to know so little about ENT matters, and, if finally referred to a specialist the wait is often months which is a long time if an ear infection has left you with tinnitus and partial deafness! thankyou so much for your tips 🙏🙏
Good Stuff. I have been a Sufferer of Slow Draining Sinus’s causing me pressure headaches behind the forehead and eyes my entire adult life. (singe age 22) I am 58 now. I have been to many specialist, and ENT with Deviated Septum operation at age 33. The pressure has ruined my work (I run a small diner here in Mass) By Nature I am a happy go lucky person and love making others happy, but with this constant issue and feeling plugged all the time my concentraiting, focusing and disposition are all affected. I tried accupuncture, Chiropracter, both helped but temporary. Exercise helped but the rebound headaches are worse when the pressure is to tight. Dry air is worse and dairy seems to make it worse so I barely have any dairy. I eat Whole Food and do my own cooking. No Packaged foods except one ingredient packaged food like Canned tomotoes, beans, etc. I am low carbs and trying to get more protein. No one understands this feeling and it can make my eyes blood shot especially in the mornings. I am Open to any help. I am also a CPAP Patient. Thank You for all you do! Gene from Mass
Thank you Dr. Fields. As a fellow chiropractor (Orthospinology Upper Cervical Technique) the last 10 days have been terrible with serous otitis media and three trips to my ENT. Fluid continues to drain constantly from my right ear, with now a small perforated tympanic membrane. I am trying the Muncie technique next and have tried all the other things you mentioned as self treat. Thanks again.
Glad to help, doctor! Thanks for going the extra mile and studying upper cervical chiropractic. Don't forget to get yourself adjusted for that otitis media.
Dr Fields, I am here because you have sent me this link from your other video. I am desperate to get my father relieved from the pain he is going through. I live in Toronto and my dad just had a cochlear implant on his right ear after he lost his hearing on his right ear..he still does not hear well on that ear. However the bigger problem is the left ear where NO ENT specialist could figure out what it is. His left ear is clogged and he gets extremely nauseous constantly and when he pulls on his ear lobe it pops open for about a few seconds and then back to square one. I am even willing to take him to the US to get him treated. His quality of life has gone down and it is taking a toll on our entire family. I would appreciate your kindness in guiding me. Thank you kindly.
Hi Renee, sorry about your dad. I have someone in NYC that I trust: Dr Samuelle Easton (646) 737-2718 or you could come see me in California...message me through my website for that.
@@dradamfields Thank you very much indeed. I will definitely contact you via your website. Thank you for providing me Dr Easton’s number in NYC. Thank you again. 🙏
God bless you Dr. Always helpful with your videos I wish I was somewhere there in the US I would have flown to see you definitely but still I appreciate your help here🙏🏼
Hello Dr Fields! It is a miracle i have found your videos. I have had a full right ear for nearly 2/3 years now. Reduced hearing, crackling when doing the valsalva maneuver and a feeling of fullness. ENT doctor found nothing to report and suggested it was just hearing loss. Other doctors suggest it is remnant of an ear infection or something to do with hayfever. Please can you recommend any specialists in the U.K? What would you advise me to do? I am going to perform the exercise daily and try adhere to the diet. Many thanks for your kind contribution to help all of us suffering with this issue that many doctors fail to properly acknowledge.
Ah, I wish I had someone in the UK. Let me know if you find someone who does what i do. In the meantime go with the diet, oil pulling and exercise videos. Just had someone from the UK come today ; )
@Herstorical Tours I’m from the south east of England. I ended up going to a ENT doctor and he determined after testing that my right ear has a floppy or loose ear drum. Also that in my right inner ear one of the tiny bones has gone stiff and needs replacing. He has offered me surgery to fix both these issues which he says should fix my hearing. Haven’t had the surgery yet.
Hi doc this pressure in my ears gives me panic attacks constant ringing and terrible vertigo i did have 2 strokes the second one was the worse I can function very well except for vertigo been 7 years I'm 68 now very active around house but don't drive
Yes yes yeeeessss..... Omg. All of this. Let me say, I could barely hear for 2 years, they were going to fit me with 2 hearing aides. I said to ENT I almost feel like my ears are plugged from the inside, like maybe phlegm?? Nonsense! I was learning to lip read, tv turned as loud as possible...After 2 yrs of barely being able to hear, my ears finally opened up. Wow. Inflammation from food is a huge thing.
@@dradamfields amazing! ❤️ Honestly I thought it was my Chiari Malformation. I've since learned that Dr's know less that I realized. I think my instincts were right, it was my sinuses. Imaging being fitted with 2 hearing aides due to sinuses?? !!!
Hello Dr. Fields. What part of the head or ear do you apply laser treatment? I'm a physical therapist and have tinnitus as a result of the Covid vaccine. I happen to have my own laser unit and considered using it to treat myself but wondered the best areas would be for tinnitus. Mastoid process? I love all your videos. Your so kind and you really help many people. You are a blessing to the TH-cam world!
Awe, Diana! Thanks so much. I am getting a lot of emails from people who have tinnitus post jab. In the office, I work manually directly on the nasopharynx but the laser won't make it that deep. (i think). So, I do do some suboccipital laser and directly on the ear. Get on an anit-inflammatory diet and even consider a 72 hour fast to really bring it down quickly.
I live in England and have had blocked ears since Covid lockdown began. Love your TH-cam exercise regime and am following it every day. Can I buy the type of probiotics etc. you recommend in England please? Isolation plus deafness is making me so depressed.
How do you know if you have Eustachian tube dysfunction? I have Tinnitus and I hear buzzing in my right ear at times. Kaiser ENT cleared all the wax out and had nothing more to offer and just said we can look into it if you really want.. lol.. I also used to play loud music but I don't know if my Tinnitus is related to music alone. I've had Tinnitus 24/7 for years.
I had an ear wax build up in my left ear, after getting it cleaned by an ENT, I developed an infection which resulted in clogged ear and tinnitus. NOW It seems I have developed ETD, however I don't have any other symptoms
Cool Dr for a change, i have ear cogestion & the throat muscus cause makes sense. Would love to see videos on both types of tinnitus & tensor tympany syndrome.
Fantastic suggestions! I need to correct my issue so I am trudging through these different avenues. One of the ones I would like to try is a Eustachian tube flush with normal saline and xylitol. Have you had experience with it?
Thank you so much for your wonderful exercises shown and your tips. I have regular pain in my right ear lobe and surrounding area. I had some relief from doing the TMJ exercises .but it still occurs.Today was bad. Do I have to daily exercises and if so how many times a day.? I am in the UK.Many thanks doctor.
Hi Joya, if you are having relief from the TMJ, try doing the Open Mouth Exercise for 3 45 second holds 3x/day and two TMJ videos/day. Try this for 3 weeks and see if you get a result.
Good morning, I’ve had a stuffed ear and sinus issues. I saw the Dr. on Tuesday and finally they looked at the images,she said I had mastoid fluid. I asked what she can do, she said there’s nothing I can do. Frustrated with the the Dr’s. The chiropractor yesterday did something with his finger in my mouth, it felt like he popped a pimple, is that normal? It was painful throughout the day. This is making me depressed, don’t feel like eating, can’t sleep. My second opinion is only in January 2025. Do you recommend I do nasal rinse. HELP!!!!
Hello Dr. Adam. I have just come across your channel last evening. My TMJ has been really acting up and I haven’t been able to get to my chiropractor since Covid. I did your videos pertaining stretches for TMJ, and I find they’ve been helpful. Meanwhile, my husband has been having problems with Tinnitus. I just watched your ETD stretch video. Would that be helpful for his Tinnitus? And do you have more stretches that might help him? Videos such as these really might be beneficial for so many of us who are not able to find relief and do not wish to add more medications to our bodies. I’d love your feedback! Thanks!🙏🏻🕊
Hi Deborah, Yes, have your husband to the ETD video, try the TMJ 1/TMJ 2 videos and do the 7-Part Neck Relief Series. And, by all means, a low inflammation diet.
A lot of people don't realize how much sugar is in their salad dressing and yogurt. Use olive oil with salad. If you must have yogurt eat plain yogurt with your own fruits mixed in.
Hi Adam, I love your videos they are so informative. I have a constant feeling of swaying/ being on a boat type of movement and I wonder can ETD cause this? Thank you so much
There are a number of things. I would go to a chiropractor and see if your upper cervical spine might be involved. Also, it could be your ears. These are the most common
Thanks for the videos! really helps for desperate people like me. I'm going crazy with this ringing and pulsing sound in my ear. I can even feel added pressure when I burp or yawn :(
@@dradamfields Thanks for the concern! sadly I'm currently in Indonesia and the doctors aren't as good. They now diagnosed me with Otitis Media Effusion, any idea how to treat this?
I have tinnitus and ENT after many tests found nothing. I went to my chiropractor and she did dry needling on my sternocleidomastoid and OMG immediate relief. I now massage that myself whenever I get ringing and it goes away. Obviously there are many causes but this worked for me.
Hey Doc, you are awesome and have helped so many people. I have the weirdest thing happening. As soon as I go to open my mouth to eat I get really dizzy and have balance issues and it lasts for a few hours and then turns into a headache. Any thoughts or ideas on what it could be and how to deal with this would be most welcome. The docs here can't figure it out. Thank you in advance!
Hey Tim, Sorry for this darn challenge. Your jaw can lead to balance disparities as well as cause nausea and vision problems. Let's have you try my TMJ videos. I would start with TMJ 3. If you can get to a chiropractor, I recommend it.
@@dradamfields Thank you Doc Adam for taking the time to reply! Sorry but I just saw this today my friend and Thank you for your advice. I will definitely try your suggestions and let you know how things go. If they don’t work out I will travel down to where you are from Toronto. By the way , where are you located? ✌️ and ❤️! Tim
All your other videos are super helpful with ear and neck problems - thanks for that. Wondering with the oil swishing is it ok to swallow during that 15 mins? Think I might have to:) Apologies if it's a ridiculous question! Can't see anyone right now for ear/cranial due to covid.
@@dradamfields They say coconut oil is good for you and I often put some in my coffee so I wouldn’t think it would hurt at all. More doctors are saying coconut oil is excellent for the brain. I have no credentials but do research lots on the subject. Best to you.
@@believer2734 yes but not while oil pulling because it will be filled with bacteria, fungus and a bunch of nasty stuff. Coconut oil is good for you as I take a shot of it every day, just don’t swallow the stuff when your oil pulling and make sure you spit it in the trashcan not the sink because it will clog your sink.
My left ear closed up over a year ago after a long flight. I’ve always had issues flying with ear pressure. Right ear opened days later, but left never did. I’ve seen 2 ENT’s, had Cat scan, MRI, steroids, antibiotics, tube put in, but no improvement. Given option of surgery, but no guarantee they will find the cause and be able to fix (and risk of permanent dizziness), or hearing aid. Opted for hearing aid, but still trying alternative therapies…these exercises, acupuncture, chiropractor. No success yet.
Dr Fields, can ETD be caused by allergies ? i just moved from MN to SC in November. was loving life until mid January when I caught Covid (im not vaxxed) struggled for about 3 weeks recovered and then in mid February started to get plugged ears, lots of mucus that was not draining but was able to pull through my soft palette, always clear. When I had covid my sinuses were really inflamed, lots of thick bloody mucus but never had an infection or clogged ears,was put on Flonase and it subsided until this February. Up until covid I was doing intermittent fasting but during covid I lost ten pounds i couldn't afford to lose. Doing lots of gentle Valsalva to push air through Eustachion tubes. most time I can hear the air flowing then boom just stops which I assume is air reaching the flexing eardrum. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated
I have had an allergy infection for the 3 yrs now. The last 4 months have been a nightmare. Blocked ears . Blocked nose . Mucus in my throat . Clearing the throat every 10 minutes . Tried every medication possible including “Neti” last 1 yr daily . Am on nil sugar diet and oil pulling since the last one month . Very little difference though . Want to try the ozone . Let’s see . Am not to confident on the myringotomy procedure . Pl comment . Any suggestion welcome.
Lol, ive had this ever since Avril Lavinge´s Under My Skin album came out (2004), I was still a kid and went to Niagara falls, on the way back my ears were plugged, forever. The doctors never found anything, my hearing appeared to be fine, same with my TMJ and Miosfacial Pain, it took so long to be diagnosed and finally do something about it, your videos have helped me a lot, altho for this ear plugged thingy I just dont feel that is possible to heal.
@@dradamfields doctor, please give me an advice. I failed at the military hearing test in their machine but I can hear very well in daily basis. I haven’t see an audiologist yet. I always have common colds/ seasonal allergy since I was little until now. Does colds/ sinusitis have something to do with this? I’ll appreciate your input over here in the comments section. Please.
Hallo dr Adam, I have problem each time I fly, especially when the plane go down…. I have inflammation and bad pain in my hear , when the plane touch down, I look like a frog. My ears stay block for weeks . I am retired and free to fly,or cruising , but I am very scare for more pain . Thank you .
Nasal Ozone Insufflation. He'll need about 5 treatments. check with some naturopathic doctors as they often use ozone. See my podcast with Dr Josh Donaldson. AND your husband needs to be 100% off of sugar. Not one gram of refined sugar or honey. Even stay off of high sugar fruits.
Hi I suffer with sinus pressure and plugged ears from ETD. I fly to Spain in May for the first time ever on a plain, I have extreme anxiety that the pressure will effect me ALOT and ruin my holiday can you do a short video please on some excuses I can do away from people before I fly ? Also the low inflammation diet is there a vid you do for that also ? Thank you 😊
Hello Dr. Fields, I have been having ETD for a month now. I have swollen turbinates in my nose due to deviated septum and was suggested surgery by a few ENT. I usually get dizziness during the rains. I have been taking steam regularly to keep my sinuses clean but doesn’t seem to help now. I also have congested nose, ear popping ( right one only), dizziness and nothing else. What would you recommend? Thanks!
I recently have had trouble in both ears with blocking then unblocking especially waking up..Thats the biggest pain tring to get my ears to unblock. I recently visited an ENT who found i have a deviated septum which he stated can cause/or be a cause of your ears doing this. He advised I get an Xray and also get a surgical procedure to fix my septum. However I had been fine with my septum being crushed which happened 5 years ago. Ive learnt to live with it and still can get some air through on my left ear (when my Eustachian tubes are working) With finding your videos and just doing these exercises for 1 day, I took a shower after doing your exercises and I had the erge to equalize and I did....Well, Immediatley i felt drainage in my ears and a waxy liquid only a little came out but oh my god the RELIEF! My question is, Should I still have surgery done on my Nose or stick to exercises and maintain a good diet?
No wonder I’m having a hard time... all I eat are “inflammatory foods”. It’s time for me to make some changes! 😰 Thank you for helping me realizing my body is asking for help!! I honestly can’t thank you enough for this channel, it has literally improved my life so much :)
Dude. I don’t know if you make any money off these videos but Iv learned more from you than all my ent and neurology doctors combined. The next step for me is balloon dilation and I’m terrified that it might worsen my symptoms so I’m gonna hit it hard with all of your exercises.
Same here, I’m a full time musician. I’m trying to avoid balloon dilation. Hopefully these exercises help. Etd is the worst.

Love to hear someone talk about self health care!!! "Take a hold of our ship and go get em!" Love it! Thank you for posting your videos.
You've got my whole philosophy right there!!! Keep loving yourself ; )
I've not eaten any gluten, dairy, or sugar for 3 weeks, added Kefir and bone broth to my diet, very clean eating - and my ETD and resulting tinnitus (of 2.5 months due to allergies?) has slowly been improving. I also do one of the two massage videos you have posted 1-2x per day. I hope I continue to get better.
Hello how it going for you? did your T improved?
Mr Adam Field; Thank you; you are a very kind man since you care about other people, this makes you a perfect human being.
🌹💖
Much appreciated. I hope you find a great confidence in your body and a deep love for those around you.
This is what a REAL Dr is. Not one that sells big lying pHARMa chemicals to make you more sick.
Dr. Fields, I cant thank you enough. I have suffered from clogged eustachian tubes off and on for many years. Recently, I've had a clogged eustachian tube for about a month and 1/2. So, I finally went to a local doctor and they told me to take some Zyrtec. Well, that didn't work. So, today I found you and started watching some of your videos. The first video was on messaging different part parts of the ears and skull. So I did that. Then I started watching another one of your videos and honestly half way through the other video I started to get mucus drainage from the messaging technique that I had learned from you just minutes before. Wow!!!! It was so simple, but so effective! I almost cant believe it. Thank you so much. I like that you want people to be more self sustainable when it comes to their health. That's a true sign of a good person.
Shaaaaaayne! You got it! The healing is right in your own hands. Thank you for sharing your wonderful story.
Hi Shayne, which method helped you with mucus drainage?
Thx Dr. Feels you are a God sent ENT locally did not work thank you so much for helping me with the exercises
I feel so good you have saved me time and money. May God bless and keep you Dr. Fields..
Maybe i am not really under standing .when you say clogged are you talking about the ear is being stoppe up900
Is your problem solved
It's taken me a while to realize this is what I've been dealing with. This is the first time in my life with all these strange symptoms. And now I've made a major break-through in discovering your channel. Maybe we can deal with this after all! Thank you so much for these videos. I now have some knowledge, some techniques, and some hope!
I can say you echo my own thoughts and sentiments.
I do think we will see results.
I wish you the very best of health.

How’s it going now ? I have the same problems
My TMJ has gotten better! It went form my orthodontist telling me my mouth will stay with the two fingers opening which I refused to believe, to now having the full range of motion.. but now Tinitus is being the issue, my ears always feel "full" and with pressure.. this really helped a lot! I can even feel fluid moving around that area.. I loved this video because it also targets the TMJ. Thank you so much for your uplifting and positive videos
My ent doctor told me there was nothing he could do for my tinnitus. I have always used a wholes-tic method when it comes to my health. Using this techniques today has reduced my tinnitus. Your expertise is greatly needed and appreciated. Thanks for you compassion.
Use Vick Vapor rub and drink plenty of warm water
Women be aware that perimenopause can cause ear problems due to the drying up of mucus membranes. Estrogen falling affects ENT so much and can cause tinitus , clogged ears, sore ears, itchy ears and hot ears....perimenopause can also affect sinuses and increase allergies due to dryness and this can cause problems with ears like infections etc. Ive been suffering so much because of this lesser know symptom of perimenopause. Never had so much problems now with my ears. So much pain, infection, blocked up...😢
VERY good comment. I imagine you are seeking care from a naturopathic doctor that knows women's health. I really should get a full history before tossing something like this out there but look up hyaluronic acid supplementation. I have used it for women in your circumstance. If you'd like to dig deeper, let's get together on zoom: fieldsfamilychiro.janeapp.com/locations/telehealth/book#staff_member/1
@@dradamfields I was just making women aware of this lesser known symptom of perimenopause/menopause as so many women suddenly start suffering ENT symptoms at this stage in life and don't join the dots. It may not be the reason but just a consideration.
I'm in the UK and cannot afford fees of private consults but I'm getting help from my own medical services but like you said, ear problems are difficult and especially for women who's ear problems are hormonal. Thanks for the reply and suggestions.

Thank you so much for posting this- I have been suffering for months and had not made the connection btx dry tissue and perimenopause. I bought the hyaluronic acid supplement at sprouts for $20 and within a few days my head/ears felt such relief. God bless you❤
Thanks for this comment, I've started drinking bone broth for the hyaluronic acid content.
I am so happy to find your videos!! I have had a problem in my right Eustachian tube for over a decade. It ruptured my eardrum and it acts up over time causing my ears to block and now that I found your videos I will am using the massage techniques for temporary relief and will do the oil pulling. I recently started having cheese and milk and I think that’s causing the inflammation now. Thank you so much!! You are a God send.
OMG!!! So HAPPY I found you! Been suffering with my left ear feeling clogged and Tinnitus. Feeling like there is no help😢. I decided to change my diet and went out today, will try everything you have recommended. THANK YOU for taking the time to help!!!!
Glad you have some hope, Katrina!
I have the same feeling of clogged and tinnitus. I feel like if I can get rid of the cloggyness then I would have some relief from the T. Hope you find some relief and please let me know if anything worked for you.
do you have any updates on this?
how are you doing now Katrina? I have the same situation like yours
Hi Katrina, I had the exact same problem as you for years and got rid of it by using the following:
1. Low histamine diet
2. Ancestral supplement colostrum (6 pills/day)
3. Omne Diem DAO (1 capsule enzyme)
4. Seeking Health | ProBiota HistaminX (1 a day)
I got my problem after a Keto Diet and consuming Garden of Life probiotics. This will heal your gut and give you back your health, don’t eat:
Pineapple, vinegar, spinach, tea (black-green), coffee, chocolate (specially dark), yoghurt or fermented foods. Just google histamine foods and avoid them, all do I consume them now that I have cured my problem and symptoms are gone after 6 months of doing the above, best of luck hope you can benefit from my experience.
Thank you so much Dr. Fields. You are a life saver. My doctor told me there's nothing they can do about my eustacian tubes collapsing except to take drugs. I'm doing the exercises you recommend & already I'm feeling some relief. I know with time my eustachian tube will be healed. Thank you again for your awesome advice. 🌻
Try frequency
Any update please?
Are you better now
@@not_a_bt.wavformat2909what is frequency
How are you now ?
I know you posted this video about two years ago. But you are so awesome for helping so many people and myself… have gotten great relief… i’ve had two surgeries many many years ago. Don’t really recall what the actual diagnosis is but I know I do have a malformed mastoid bone in something to do with my eustachian tubes that creates suction and makes my eardrum cone shaped. On and off through my entire life I have this clogged feeling it comes and it goes , Thank God, but your massage techniques are amazing.
Thank you first of all… I have had tinnitus for the last six months. I do not want to have this ringing in my ears for 17 or 18 years like a few of my friends have dealt with… I’ve been listening to your videos. I’ve been doing the exercises in hopes that the ringing will subside somewhat… I’ve only been watching for eight days, and I’ve learned so much from you… I have shared your videos with lots of my friends and they have done some of the videos and said it has helped them with things like headaches and breathing better.. so I will let you know if the ringing calms down after watching a few more of your videos… But I will tell you, I did watch just one of your video of dry eyes and that actually helped me immediately… So thank you
Thank you so much for sharing, Doris! I truly hope you find some relief for your tinnitus ringing. If you're available and open to it, I offer telehealth services and would love to meet with you for a virtual appointment.

@@dradamfields doctor any excerise to reverse Parkinson's disease can you advise for old citizens..thanks in advance
I got tinnitus after covid recovery and I’ve been coming back to both of your videos addressing tinnitus and/or Eustachian tube dysfunction. They’ve greatly helped alleviate the symptoms.
I have good days and bad days, but these tips and the exercises in the other video reduced the severity of the noise to a manageable level. (I can sleep!)
Your charisma makes these videos easy to watch repeatedly. Hope we eventually get some new tinnitus content from you. I think the amount of people who came out of covid with tinnitus and neuropathic conditions are underreported. Although our condition may not be sinus related, you definitely helped me.
Thank you so much

@@dradamfields Thank you Harate for your thoughts. Now I realize that I was not crazy by thinking that this horrible noises in my head were consequence of the COVID I had since your case is similar to mine. I am desperate but at the same time have hopes since I am not the only one in this situation.

You are looking in the right places ; )
Thank you for this!! Have had diagnosed with chronic rhinitis/ sinusitis / ear infection multiple times along with asthma. tired of feeling weird from ear infections. Stumbled upon this and tried it even though I was laughing thru it, it worked. It's draining! Yay!
Which method did you try? I feel horrible off and on every day. Like there is mucus or pressure maybe that builds and won't leave. Mostly in my ears. I was diagnosed with chronic sinusitis almost 2 years ago and none of the drugs they had me try did anything. I don't want the drugs anyway
@@robolyn I just started at the beginning of this video. I have to admit I felt silly and kept laughing thru it but as I continued to follow along, I noticed it started draining and continued to drain for the rest of the evening.

Thanks again and Healing Hugs Leslie.

Bless you! I've been getting a tremendous amount of help from both yours and Dr. Mandell's Video's here on TH-cam. I have ringing in my ears and clogged up Eustachian Tubes and doctors have been of no help to me. Even the Ear Specialist took my $225.00 to spend three minutes with me and tell me that there was nothing that he could do for me. You have no idea how much your videos have helped me, I thank you with all of my heart. And by the way, swishing the coconut oil is not pleasant but wow, it really works! Thank you so much!
What great feedback. This is why I'm here. This is why I do what it do.
I have clogged ears and ringing in my right ears, sometimes I feel like my whole head is swooshing. Did the oil pulling really helped????
@@shycourgette Yes it did, it helped me to clear out a lot of mucus. Sounds weird I know, I didn't believe it either until I tried it but it does work. Beware though that it may make you gag at first. I have another suggestion for you, something that I just tried last night and it really helped me so I've been having success with it all day. I had some of those nasal sticks for stuffy noses in my bathroom and I used one and kept switching from one nostril to the other for like two hours and wow, that really made a difference and it helped me to clear out a lot of congestion and even brought down the volume of my ringing which is being caused by my clogged Eustachian Tubes. I'm not a doctor, I don't know if it's safe so do your own investigating but this is working for me and I'm going to keep at it!! I also just purchased a personal steamer with menthol pads which gives some relief and I tried a nasal balloon today and that helped a lot! (It's called Otovent but I made my own version so that I could have it today) So there are a few different ideas for you to try and I'll pray that one of them helps you. I feel your suffering! .....

@@darthmom3960 Tonya thank you so much for your answer and for the lovely words. I will try everything and something must help isn't it. It is incredible how little we need to be happy... I wish you all the best too.
Thank you for posting the tutorial saving me time and travel. I’m all for mitigating issues natural ways before moving towards medicine.
Glad it was helpful and keep up that philosophy in all you do
Woah…I thought this was my normal ear because I’ve had it since I was a kid, but as I’ve been practicing singing I have become frustrated that I cannot hit my higher register even though I’ve been trying for 10+ years. Something is preventing me from “letting go” when I sing and I realize it’s a Eustachian tube problem I believe. I’ve been clogged in my right ear since I was a child and every time I “blow it open” it just closes back up. I am definitely going to be doing these exercises daily. Thank you!!
Thank God with this help I'm completely healed now. I had clogged ear for almost a month because of chronic ear infection (otitis) I keep the exercises for about 6days, twice or sometimes 3 times a day, + proper diet, then suddenly all the mucus drained, it came out one after another I feel instant relieved. Thank you doc. Field. God bless you. x
And God bless your effort to take care of yourself. Thank you for the comprehensive comment.
What kinda exercise did you do and what remedies you recommend
I usually get ear crackling when I swallow and it makes me overwhelmed because of my autism. You literally make it so much better and I can't thank you enough.
How u get rid of it?
Me too! How did u get rid of it and for how long? Its only been 4 days since i follow these exercises and still nothing happens.
@kimcero8275 I still haven't got rid of it. However it has calmed down a lot. This video can make it go away for a few hours
@@ragalaga I see. I hope so.
HI. What do you mean it can make it go away for a few hours? Which of the videos?@@ragalaga
been a month since my bad cold left my right ear stuffed. I usually can easily pop my ears during altitude changes ( I live in mountains, travel to the valley.) I have lost about
75% of my hearing in that ear, no pain. I'll ne doing these exercises and report back. ❤️🙏❤️
Hi again, Doctor Fields! Thanks so much for your response to my comment on your other ETD video! I actually have watched this one as well haha.
Firstly, thank you so much for helping so many people who aren't even your own patients. I live in Syracuse, New York- not a huge city, but not a small one either. We also have many hospitals in the area, so I figured finding an ENT to help me would be simple. Boy, I was wrong. I have called and called and called- nobody here deals with EDT! So I have been using your videos religiously in attempt to help myself.
My issues started back in 2017 when I, out of the blue, had a severe case of idiopathic angioedema. For roughly six months, I would wake up every other day with a random part of my body so swollen I had to go to the hospital. I was on prednisone for roughly a year and have only had a few issues since. The only lasting damage has been to the tubes in my ears. I don't think I have tinnitus because I only hear a crackling sound and feel fullness when I swallow. Thankfully, I am not in any pain, either. But it has been incredibly frustrating- it is to the point where it is now effecting my day to day life. I plug my ears whenever I have to swallow because I don't want to hear the crackle or feel the fullness. I was lucky enough to find your channel and have watched everything you have uploaded (not just ear issues!). I have had sinus problems my entire life so I find a lot of your information valuable.
And I feel like I am so close, but just can't quite pass the finish line! I have done every technique you showed us in your first video and it feels like things are trying to move in there. I bought a device called a eustachi, but that hasn't helped. I have had doctors flush my ears with no breakthroughs. I have tried ear drops, ear wax remover drops, hydrogen peroxide all with no help. I have taken OTC allergy meds literally every day which haven't made the problem worse, but haven't made it better. I have taken hearing tests and pass them easily, so my doctors shrug me off and say there isn't anything we can do.
Some days are better than others. I psychologically tell myself I won't let it bother me, but it is getting more and more difficult. I have gotten into the habit where I clench my teeth as hard as I can because I can hear it crackle, but that isn't helping. I have dug into my canal until I bleed out of frustration. Nobody here will help me so I don't know what to do anymore. I had one moment I will never forget- I yawned and my left ear completely opened for maybe 30 seconds. As awful as it sounds, I don't remember being happier in my life than I was at that moment. But then it went right back to the fullness and crackling.
Sorry for rambling, but it is almost therapeutic to tell a Doctor who truly cares. It is also amazing seeing how many people suffer from the same issue I do. Knowing I am not alone gives me hope somebody will be able to cure this. Thank you again, Doctor. If you ever find yourself traveling through Syracuse, let me know!
My ears are full because of Covid, too.
I feel you. I’ve had the same issue. Almost exactly. A little bit of pain though. Mine started after I had COVID. I’ve had the balloon dilation procedure which seemed to have helped for about a month. But the crackling and pressure is back. I’m nervouse about having tubes put in my ears because there is slight risks and the lack of help from the balloon procedure hurts my confidence. Praying for the both of us. Lmk if you’ve found relief somehow.
Thank you very much im doing a few video's Every day and my head feels more open and that makes it easier to fall asleep And wake up.
So glad you are taking your health on head-first. Keep up the good work.
Wooow lovely!! So valuable information, and the way you say things and give support is just fabulous. Thank you Dr. Fields. I think that developing self-sustainment and self-care is just the best way to approach it.
So nice of you and i'm so glad you get the concept. We have the power!
@@dradamfields We have the power yes. It is great to find leaders like you and also find our way and keep going with what we know (wich enlarges everyday)

Hello from Australia Adam!
Great video, I’ll add some of these techniques to my regime, including your ETD exercises.
However I am feeling with something that seems to be a big unique.
My Eustachian tubes, sphenoid and left maxillary sinus became inflamed approx 20 months ago. Recently I’ve been able to extract copious amounts of hard debris from my right eustachian and some from the sphenoid. They resemble tonsil stones, but ENT has confirmed my tonsils and adenoids are not inflamed and not the cause of the stones. I’ve worked closely with a chiro, naturopath and nutritionist to reduce inflammation. However it’s a very slow process, my left eustachian won’t budge and the sphenoid is stubborn. The right eustachian is completely empty up to the isthmus which is too constrictive to allow the tympanic cavity to clear. Any ideas how I could get the hard build-up out of that area?
Could you tell me more about the oxygen treatment for fungi please? Where can I source it and how do I ensure I don’t breathe it into the lungs when spraying into the nose?
Kind regards
Kristie

I always used to have terrible pain when ever I took a flight. On one occasion, when I had a head cold, I had a ruptured ear drum from the failure of pressure to equalise in my ears during a flight. Now I start taking anti-histamines and decongestents a few days before I fly and all seems to be good.
Since I have problems with hearing the sound here is too quiet for me. I wish it were louder for easier listening. Information is quite useful though, thank you!

I have been to many specialist, and ENT with Deviated Septum operation at age 33. The pressure has ruined my work (I run a small diner here in Mass) By Nature I am a happy go lucky person and love making others happy, but with this constant issue and feeling plugged all the time my concentraiting, focusing and disposition are all affected. I tried accupuncture, Chiropracter, both helped but temporary. Exercise helped but the rebound headaches are worse when the pressure is to tight. Dry air is worse and dairy seems to make it worse so I barely have any dairy. I eat Whole Food and do my own cooking. No Packaged foods except one ingredient packaged food like Canned tomotoes, beans, etc. I am low carbs and trying to get more protein. No one understands this feeling and it can make my eyes blood shot especially in the mornings. I am Open to any help. I am also a CPAP Patient. Thank You for all you do! Gene from Mass
Thank you Dr. Fields. As a fellow chiropractor (Orthospinology Upper Cervical Technique) the last 10 days have been terrible with serous otitis media and three trips to my ENT.

His left ear is clogged and he gets extremely nauseous constantly and when he pulls on his ear lobe it pops open for about a few seconds and then back to square one.
I am even willing to take him to the US to get him treated.
His quality of life has gone down and it is taking a toll on our entire family.
I would appreciate your kindness in guiding me.
Thank you kindly.
Hi Renee, sorry about your dad. I have someone in NYC that I trust:
Dr Samuelle Easton (646) 737-2718 or you could come see me in California...message me through my website for that.
@@dradamfields Thank you very much indeed. I will definitely contact you via your website. Thank you for providing me Dr Easton’s number in NYC.
Thank you again. 🙏
God Bless you Dr. Adam Fields; your spirit and teachings are holy
I pray before each filming. God is good
@@dradamfields God is good
Holy shit! The water trick at the end brought instant relief!! 🤯😍
Sweetness!!!!
I loved the exercise you did! I will try it again.
Very good info. The water step really opens up the ear. Thank you Dr. Fields.
You're very welcome
Thanks so much for sharing this information! By chance I found your info and have hope that I've finally found something that will give me relief.
Hi Tricia, So nice to speak with you today and I'm happy to be a part of your healing process.
Thank you so much! All your videos have been a life saver for me!
You are so welcome!
Awesome information Dr. Fields. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
My pleasure! Thanks for appreciating it.
God bless you Dr. Always helpful with your videos I wish I was somewhere there in the US I would have flown to see you definitely but still I appreciate your help here🙏🏼
You can always schedule a telehealth appointment with me. God bless!
Hello Dr Fields! It is a miracle i have found your videos. I have had a full right ear for nearly 2/3 years now. Reduced hearing, crackling when doing the valsalva maneuver and a feeling of fullness. ENT doctor found nothing to report and suggested it was just hearing loss. Other doctors suggest it is remnant of an ear infection or something to do with hayfever.
Please can you recommend any specialists in the U.K?
What would you advise me to do?
I am going to perform the exercise daily and try adhere to the diet.
Many thanks for your kind contribution to help all of us suffering with this issue that many doctors fail to properly acknowledge.
Ah, I wish I had someone in the UK. Let me know if you find someone who does what i do. In the meantime go with the diet, oil pulling and exercise videos. Just had someone from the UK come today ; )
@Herstorical Tours I’m from the south east of England.
I ended up going to a ENT doctor and he determined after testing that my right ear has a floppy or loose ear drum.
Also that in my right inner ear one of the tiny bones has gone stiff and needs replacing.
He has offered me surgery to fix both these issues which he says should fix my hearing.
Haven’t had the surgery yet.
amazing advise and exercises... I have been suffering for so long with my neck ears and sinus
They can be so related. It's my joy that you find some hope here.
Hi doc this pressure in my ears gives me panic attacks constant ringing and terrible vertigo i did have 2 strokes the second one was the worse I can function very well except for vertigo been 7 years I'm 68 now very active around house but don't drive
Yes yes yeeeessss..... Omg. All of this.
Let me say, I could barely hear for 2 years, they were going to fit me with 2 hearing aides. I said to ENT I almost feel like my ears are plugged from the inside, like maybe phlegm?? Nonsense!
I was learning to lip read, tv turned as loud as possible...After 2 yrs of barely being able to hear, my ears finally opened up. Wow.
Inflammation from food is a huge thing.
What a great day that was when they opened up. Hope!
@@dradamfields amazing! ❤️ Honestly I thought it was my Chiari Malformation. I've since learned that Dr's know less that I realized. I think my instincts were right, it was my sinuses. Imaging being fitted with 2 hearing aides due to sinuses?? !!!
Hello Dr. Fields. What part of the head or ear do you apply laser treatment? I'm a physical therapist and have tinnitus as a result of the Covid vaccine. I happen to have my own laser unit and considered using it to treat myself but wondered the best areas would be for tinnitus. Mastoid process? I love all your videos. Your so kind and you really help many people. You are a blessing to the TH-cam world!
Awe, Diana! Thanks so much. I am getting a lot of emails from people who have tinnitus post jab. In the office, I work manually directly on the nasopharynx but the laser won't make it that deep. (i think). So, I do do some suboccipital laser and directly on the ear. Get on an anit-inflammatory diet and even consider a 72 hour fast to really bring it down quickly.
I live in England and have had blocked ears since Covid lockdown began. Love your TH-cam exercise regime and am following it every day. Can I buy the type of probiotics etc. you recommend in England please? Isolation plus deafness is making me so depressed.
Hi Veronica, I can't recommend the probiotics enough. Check out the protocol and link to buy.

You're doing Gods work!
Thank you!
How do you know if you have Eustachian tube dysfunction? I have Tinnitus and I hear buzzing in my right ear at times. Kaiser ENT cleared all the wax out and had nothing more to offer and just said we can look into it if you really want.. lol.. I also used to play loud music but I don't know if my Tinnitus is related to music alone. I've had Tinnitus 24/7 for years.
Mine has been clogged for one month I had the flu and it's been so frustrating to hear your own voice in that ear.
Love this man, helped me so much, thankyou from the heart adam .
Thank you!! This has been the worst winter of my life. Wish I could a chiropractor locally that did this! Going to oil pull right now!
You can do it!
I had an ear wax build up in my left ear, after getting it cleaned by an ENT, I developed an infection which resulted in clogged ear and tinnitus. NOW It seems I have developed ETD, however I don't have any other symptoms
I'm excited for you to try some of the therapies in this video
Your awesome! Thank you dr for a roadmap to gaining relief in my ear finally!
Happy to help! Thanks for seeking and finding
Cool Dr for a change, i have ear cogestion & the throat muscus cause makes sense. Would love to see videos on both types of tinnitus & tensor tympany syndrome.
So glad I found you here. I do have a question. My right tube is in great pain with swelling of the face. Is this normal when you have a clogged tube?
Fantastic suggestions! I need to correct my issue so I am trudging through these different avenues. One of the ones I would like to try is a Eustachian tube flush with normal saline and xylitol. Have you had experience with it?
Thank you so much for your wonderful exercises shown and your tips. I have regular pain in my right ear lobe and surrounding area. I had some relief from doing the TMJ exercises .but it still occurs.Today was bad. Do I have to daily exercises and if so how many times a day.? I am in the UK.Many thanks doctor.
Hi Joya, if you are having relief from the TMJ, try doing the Open Mouth Exercise for 3 45 second holds 3x/day and two TMJ videos/day. Try this for 3 weeks and see if you get a result.
Good morning, I’ve had a stuffed ear and sinus issues. I saw the Dr. on Tuesday and finally they looked at the images,she said I had mastoid fluid. I asked what she can do, she said there’s nothing I can do. Frustrated with the the Dr’s. The chiropractor yesterday did something with his finger in my mouth, it felt like he popped a pimple, is that normal? It was painful throughout the day. This is making me depressed, don’t feel like eating, can’t sleep. My second opinion is only in January 2025. Do you recommend I do nasal rinse. HELP!!!!
Yes diet always always always, I will actually give a diet rich in anthocyanins too, tackling both ends.This is a great vídeo!
You had me at "captain of our ship"!
Thanks Sassy Captain. ; )
Hello Dr. Adam. I have just come across your channel last evening. My TMJ has been really acting up and I haven’t been able to get to my chiropractor since Covid. I did your videos pertaining stretches for TMJ, and I find they’ve been helpful. Meanwhile, my husband has been having problems with Tinnitus. I just watched your ETD stretch video. Would that be helpful for his Tinnitus? And do you have more stretches that might help him? Videos such as these really might be beneficial for so many of us who are not able to find relief and do not wish to add more medications to our bodies. I’d love your feedback! Thanks!🙏🏻🕊
Hi Deborah, Yes, have your husband to the ETD video, try the TMJ 1/TMJ 2 videos and do the 7-Part Neck Relief Series. And, by all means, a low inflammation diet.
How’s it going now ??
This is amazing I can't wait to try some of these. Medications not working. Thank you
Please do!
A lot of people don't realize how much sugar is in their salad dressing and yogurt. Use olive oil with salad. If you must have yogurt eat plain yogurt with your own fruits mixed in.
Amen! 100%
Drinking from a glass of water while pinching your nostrils with one hand is very efficient as well. Also recommend the otovent balloon!
Thank you so much for being so giving!
You're so kind, Bruno. I read this a I am taking a break from researching a new sinus video and am grateful for the encouragement.
Hi Adam, I love your videos they are so informative. I have a constant feeling of swaying/ being on a boat type of movement and I wonder can ETD cause this? Thank you so much
There are a number of things. I would go to a chiropractor and see if your upper cervical spine might be involved. Also, it could be your ears. These are the most common
@@dradamfields thank you
Thank you so much for your generosity!
You are so welcome! I hope it's helping.
Thanks for the videos! really helps for desperate people like me. I'm going crazy with this ringing and pulsing sound in my ear. I can even feel added pressure when I burp or yawn :(
Oy! Tough one! IF you are near Nor Cal, come on by for care. You can reach me through my site.
@@dradamfields Thanks for the concern! sadly I'm currently in Indonesia and the doctors aren't as good. They now diagnosed me with Otitis Media Effusion, any idea how to treat this?
Hello Dr Adam, please could you do a video for Tinnitus.
Just shot core videos. Tinnitus is coming up. Thanks for the request.
I have tinnitus and ENT after many tests found nothing. I went to my chiropractor and she did dry needling on my sternocleidomastoid and OMG immediate relief. I now massage that myself whenever I get ringing and it goes away. Obviously there are many causes but this worked for me.
Mark Hazan can you tell me more about this procedure? I have tinnitus and desperately need relief. Thanks, Lisa
@@lisabahash2346 Same here...
Hey Doc, you are awesome and have helped so many people. I have the weirdest thing happening. As soon as I go to open my mouth to eat I get really dizzy and have balance issues
and it lasts for a few hours and then turns into a headache. Any thoughts or ideas on what it could be and how to deal with this would be most welcome. The docs here can't figure it out. Thank you in advance!
Hey Tim,
Sorry for this darn challenge.
Your jaw can lead to balance disparities as well as cause nausea and vision problems.
Let's have you try my TMJ videos. I would start with TMJ 3.
If you can get to a chiropractor, I recommend it.
@@dradamfields Thank you Doc Adam for taking the time to reply! Sorry but I just saw this today my friend and Thank you for your advice. I will definitely try your suggestions and let you know how things go. If they don’t work out I will travel down to where you are from Toronto. By the way , where are you located? ✌️ and ❤️! Tim
All your other videos are super helpful with ear and neck problems - thanks for that. Wondering with the oil swishing is it ok to swallow during that 15 mins? Think I might have to:) Apologies if it's a ridiculous question! Can't see anyone right now for ear/cranial due to covid.
Not a ridiculous question. Swallow the glob of mucus that comes down in the back of your throat ; ) but don't swallow the coconut oil.
@@dradamfields They say coconut oil is good for you and I often put some in my coffee so I wouldn’t think it would hurt at all. More doctors are saying coconut oil is excellent for the brain. I have no credentials but do research lots on the subject. Best to you.
@@believer2734 yes but not while oil pulling because it will be filled with bacteria, fungus and a bunch of nasty stuff. Coconut oil is good for you as I take a shot of it every day, just don’t swallow the stuff when your oil pulling and make sure you spit it in the trashcan not the sink because it will clog your sink.
My left ear closed up over a year ago after a long flight. I’ve always had issues flying with ear pressure. Right ear opened days later, but left never did. I’ve seen 2 ENT’s, had Cat scan, MRI, steroids, antibiotics, tube put in, but no improvement. Given option of surgery, but no guarantee they will find the cause and be able to fix (and risk of permanent dizziness), or hearing aid. Opted for hearing aid, but still trying alternative therapies…these exercises, acupuncture, chiropractor. No success yet.
Dr Fields, can ETD be caused by allergies ? i just moved from MN to SC in November. was loving life until mid January when I caught Covid (im not vaxxed) struggled for about 3 weeks recovered and then in mid February started to get plugged ears, lots of mucus that was not draining but was able to pull through my soft palette, always clear. When I had covid my sinuses were really inflamed, lots of thick bloody mucus but never had an infection or clogged ears,was put on Flonase and it subsided until this February. Up until covid I was doing intermittent fasting but during covid I lost ten pounds i couldn't afford to lose. Doing lots of gentle Valsalva to push air through Eustachion tubes. most time I can hear the air flowing then boom just stops which I assume is air reaching the flexing eardrum. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated
I have had an allergy infection for the 3 yrs now. The last 4 months have been a nightmare. Blocked ears . Blocked nose . Mucus in my throat . Clearing the throat every 10 minutes .
Tried every medication possible including “Neti” last 1 yr daily .
Am on nil sugar diet and oil pulling since the last one month . Very little difference though . Want to try the ozone . Let’s see . Am not to confident on the myringotomy procedure . Pl comment . Any suggestion welcome.
Lol, ive had this ever since Avril Lavinge´s Under My Skin album came out (2004), I was still a kid and went to Niagara falls, on the way back my ears were plugged, forever. The doctors never found anything, my hearing appeared to be fine, same with my TMJ and Miosfacial Pain, it took so long to be diagnosed and finally do something about it, your videos have helped me a lot, altho for this ear plugged thingy I just dont feel that is possible to heal.
Everything is possible! Dont give up!
This targeted the EXACT areas i struggle with thanks
NIiiiice!
@@dradamfields doctor, please give me an advice. I failed at the military hearing test in their machine but I can hear very well in daily basis. I haven’t see an audiologist yet. I always have common colds/ seasonal allergy since I was little until now. Does colds/ sinusitis have something to do with this? I’ll appreciate your input over here in the comments section. Please.
You’re amazing, dude!
Thanks! You too!
Hallo dr Adam, I have problem each time I fly, especially when the plane go down…. I have inflammation and bad pain in my hear , when the plane touch down, I look like a frog. My ears stay block for weeks . I am retired and free to fly,or cruising , but I am very scare for more pain . Thank you .
Great information. Thanks Dear Mr. Adam Field
So nice of you
My husband has had fungus in his sinuses for years and no one will help him. Do you have a suggestion?
Nasal Ozone Insufflation. He'll need about 5 treatments. check with some naturopathic doctors as they often use ozone.
See my podcast with Dr Josh Donaldson.
AND your husband needs to be 100% off of sugar. Not one gram of refined sugar or honey. Even stay off of high sugar fruits.
Hi I suffer with sinus pressure and plugged ears from ETD. I fly to Spain in May for the first time ever on a plain, I have extreme anxiety that the pressure will effect me ALOT and ruin my holiday can you do a short video please on some excuses I can do away from people before I fly ? Also the low inflammation diet is there a vid you do for that also ? Thank you 😊
Hi doctor ,Iam suffering with tinnitus,ETD and also I have hearing loss and 29 years old ,iam in depression please help me to get back
Hello Dr. Fields, I have been having ETD for a month now. I have swollen turbinates in my nose due to deviated septum and was suggested surgery by a few ENT. I usually get dizziness during the rains. I have been taking steam regularly to keep my sinuses clean but doesn’t seem to help now. I also have congested nose, ear popping ( right one only), dizziness and nothing else. What would you recommend? Thanks!
Rains might indicate a mold issue. I'd need more info to confirm. fieldsfamilychiro.janeapp.com/locations/telehealth/book#staff_member/1
I recently have had trouble in both ears with blocking then unblocking especially waking up..Thats the biggest pain tring to get my ears to unblock. I recently visited an ENT who found i have a deviated septum which he stated can cause/or be a cause of your ears doing this. He advised I get an Xray and also get a surgical procedure to fix my septum. However I had been fine with my septum being crushed which happened 5 years ago. Ive learnt to live with it and still can get some air through on my left ear (when my Eustachian tubes are working) With finding your videos and just doing these exercises for 1 day, I took a shower after doing your exercises and I had the erge to equalize and I did....Well, Immediatley i felt drainage in my ears and a waxy liquid only a little came out but oh my god the RELIEF! My question is, Should I still have surgery done on my Nose or stick to exercises and maintain a good diet?
No wonder I’m having a hard time... all I eat are “inflammatory foods”. It’s time for me to make some changes! 😰
Thank you for helping me realizing my body is asking for help!! I honestly can’t thank you enough for this channel, it has literally improved my life so much :)
Your comment is so perfect. "Thank you for helping me realizing my body is asking for help!!" This is the theme!
What soft foods can you eat that don’t have inflammatory effects?
Tubes made my ear worse. I was miserable for months so they finally took it out.
Keep looking for the treatments I mention here and DON'T GIVE UP.
