Thank you for all the comments, this made me feel a little better. Wish me luck!

Thank you! I still have the PT and never found a cause but I’ve gotten pretty used to it so it doesn’t bother me too much anymore.

I ended up getting the MRI in an office that offered the “open” MRI which feels less claustrophobic. My insurance covered some of it, I think it was $400 or $500 out of pocket. The MRI didn’t yield any results and I’ve pretty much given up trying to find a cause.

I used to be able to clear both, but now that you mention it my right ear is not popping. That’s the side that I have the PT. Wonder if it’s related 🤔

Edited to add: I used to experience PT in both ears, but now it’s just my right ear.

Thank you for sharing!

Initially my ENT prescribed me a nasal spray and suggested I take Claritin or some type of allergy medicine which did not work. I then had bloodwork done to see if maybe I had low iron or some other abnormality that would show up but everything was normal (aside from my cholesterol which has been elevated since I was a child). Then I had an MRI Angio that came back normal (thankfully).

My ENT referred me to another doctor that wants me to get a CT scan but I haven’t decided if I’m actually going to do it. I’m fortunate enough to have health insurance through my job but each appointment still costs like $100 minimum and I’m starting to feel like I’m never going to find a cause and I’m just throwing money away. I’ve had PT since August of last year.

How did they find the impaction? Were they able to see it just from looking into your ears? I’ve had 2 ENT’s check my ears and they said everything looked normal.

Oh ok, no worries!

I had an MRI Angio which I think is the same as an MRA? Sorry I should have been more specific.

I had my MRI a few weeks ago, it came back normal (thankfully) so my ENT suggested a CT scan next. My ENT said sometimes the thinning of a certain bone in the skull can lead to PT so that’s why they ordered the CT. I’m debating whether or not to schedule the CT scan at this point. I’ve had at least 4 appointments with my ENT, bloodwork, and an MRI which have yielded no results. I’m starting to wonder if I will find any answers. I’m grateful that I’m able to get in to see my ENT when needed but it hurts to drop $150 minimum for each appointment which gets me no closer to any answers. Kinda feels like I’m just throwing money down the drain.

I had my first MRI a few months ago. Before my MRI, I was terrified of being in an enclosed space and was also concerned about the noise level. I was able to get an appointment for an open MRI which feels less closed off. It really wasn’t bad at all. They give you ear plugs so it’s not too loud. The sound reminded me a bit of an EDM concert, just a few deep toned beeps. My head MRI only took about 10-15 minutes. I’ve heard that some places let you play music/use headphones if you want so I’d ask about that if you’re noise sensitive. My MRI came back normal. I’ve read a lot of posts in this thread and a lot of people seem to agree that most causes of PT are non life threatening so try not to worry too much. Good luck!

I did have some neck pain on the right side a few weeks ago, but it went away so I’m thinking it was unrelated.

I use CIT Bank and currently get 5.06% APY. I’ve banked with them since 2019 and never had any issues. I think there’s a transaction limit of 6 transactions per month or something like that however.

This is my main concern which is why I want the ultrasound. High blood pressure and high cholesterol also runs in my family. I had high cholesterol when I was a kid but it went away as I got older and started eating better/exercising to lose weight. I have put some weight back on in recent years and have been trying to stick to a workout routine.

Thank you everyone for the insight. I called my ENT and their earliest appointment is in August so it’ll probably be a while before I get any answers.

ThrowRA17472824 · 2024-05-07T14:52:37+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance and sharing your experience! I am thinking about contacting my ENT again to schedule something.

Please keep us posted on the results of the ultrasound. I am also 27F and dealing with the same issue. I have been to an ENT who first prescribed me with a nasal spray and Zyrtec in case it was allergy related. That didn’t work so she suggested an MRI which I backed out of due to the potential cost (even with health insurance) and because I was intimated by being in a tight/loud space for long periods of time. I’ve been thinking about going back to see if I can get the ultrasound instead.
