Heavy feeling in left hear - hearing test in surgery proved 80% good ear 30% bad ear..... it is very debilitating. Apart from this - no headaches - oh yes had lots of Gunge through nose and cough but that seems to be going. And loss of smell!!!! I feel a wreck - please help Thank you Susan Taylor.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M Forum.
Blocked eustachian tube with cough, loss of smell sensation, mucus from nose , heaviness in ears.
It seems you have got allergy and all these symptoms are related to allergy.
Off and on , clearly shows that this is recurrent attacks of allergic bronchitis with sinusitis ( as ear and sinus are related to each other).
In this case you have to consult a physician and get in physical examination as well X ray chest will reveal the cause of disease.
Avoid contacts with ,
mite,
dust,
hay,
pollen,
fumes,
smokes,
dusting powder, as these are predisposing factor of this type of allergy.
Good luck.
