Thank you so much for posting! I had my plugged ear for a week and tried this technique and it worked! Praise God!

Interesting! All the videos I’ve watched, by doctors etc, and none mentioned doing the maneuver repeatedly. I’ve always assumed it was just one breath and if it was going to work it would pop instantly. Throughout your video I did it a couple times and I’m already feeling some drainage! Thank you!

Woke up about a week ago in an absolute state of panic. Never had any issues like this other than air pressure from altitudes or water in the outer ear. Almost completely deaf on my left ear. I also have tinnitus which I am usually able to just ignore and forget about. Now it was screeching. I have had the flu or something so I've assumed it's just that. It still feels full up there, I still hear the ringing of the tinnitus. It's better now, I hear the occasional crackling and release of pressure and I can finally blow some air through it with this technique. I'll continue working on it, thanks for the tip. Other videos on this site make it sound like it's an instant fix and release type of thing.

I've watched dozens of videos, tried what I thought was everything. I find this video after 3 weeks of aggravation and it works. Thank you. I am so grateful. Instant relief.

This is exactly why I posted this video after same experience. I incorporate this procedure daily, sometimes several times a day especially during allergy season or when barometric pressure change abruptly, and have not had an ear clogged with fluid since. Also it helps relieving sinus problems as well in my opinion. Happy it worked for you.

Thank you Pauline. Shared this video with my friend Nancy. She has also been suffering for a month. This gave her hope and put a smile on her face.

After doing this video I relayed info to the Physician's Assistant (working for my Dr), and now she recommends doing this to the many patients who come to her with this problem. It seems like such a violent experience to do this but it works for me. My health has been better just remembering to do this often. We live in an area near the coast and the changes in barometric pressure does weird things to fluids in sinuses, thickening it, draining it into ears, etc as it tries to find it's natural way down into gut. So my PA says she gets loads of patients with this issue, even though there might not be infections, or other things that might be bad enough to need antibiotics (I try to stay away from antibiotics as much as I can) This one thing has made a huge difference for me and hope it does for you too and others.

My ears have been plugged for 5 weeks now . I don't think I'm plugging my nose and "blowing hard enough" in fear of creating a nose bleed.

Have you caused a nose bleed doing this? If so, you might have another issue. At first, I was fearful that I could do this too much, it does seem a strong procedure. I do it so hard I can hear and feel the squirting of liquid and on feel it draining down back of throat. I am not a Dr, so hesitate to give any advice here, other than to try it to see if it work. Only a little liquid drains each time you do it.

DeAnn, I felt I was underwater, not sure what kind of pressure you are feeling. Remember this technique done gently, but often, even hourly should reduce the fluid in the inner ear, try that and maybe that is the pressure you are experiencing. A little fluid drains each time you do this, so several times a day is needed for it to go away. Good Luck,

Doesn't work for me

Dehydration makes the problem far worse: the mucus becomes gooey and doesn't drain easily. There are lots of differing views on just how much liquid we need per day, but around 2 litres seems to be the recommended average as a minimum. People with weak bladders, and men with prostate problems often end up in this situation as a consequence of purposely restricting their fluid intake. Better to be visiting the bathroom often than end up with blocked eustachion tubes!
