Discussion on ETD and LPR

Hello, I have recently learned about the connection between LPR and Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. I would like for people who have both issues to just kind of talk about their experiences and symptoms, because theres not a ton of material online about this to learn from.

I have always had ear problems and stomach problems ever since I was a kid, it almost makes sense that they could actually be connected.

My symptoms/issues:

-Ear fullness

-Muffled hearing in one ear that is much worse in the morning (Slowly gets better over the course of the day but hearing is never 100% in comparison to other ear)

-Random pain in ear and eustachian tubes

-Regurgitation and Burping

-Frequent but not excessive loss of voice

-Very easily get stomach aches from low quality food

-Tinnitus in bad ear

-Constant sore throat with mucusy feeling

-Absolutely no sinus congestion (which confuses the crap out of ENTs who want to say allergies are the cause of everything)

-No Allergies

-Constant popping in ears when yawning/swallowing/moving jaw

-Normal Tympanometry and Audiology Tests, but have been diagnosed with ETD. (The ENT's cant figure out the cause, but also dont put too much effort into it either.)

-Heartburn one time that was so bad I rushed myself to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack.

-Recently developed a hard time swallowing pills?
