Hi there Gwen,

Sorry not to get back sooner, been a bad few days. If you saw my post to Graciecat on eustachian tube dysfunction I recommended the saline spray to her. It has to be said, I only did this because she has been diagnosed with ETD, there IS definitely fluid in her ears. I tried the saline spray prior to realising I didn't have ETD but TMJD (tempero mandibular joint disorder) it is muscular spasm that is making my e tubes feel closed off. As a consequence it made me worse. I think I just sent the muscles in to greater spasm. If you have ETD it can, from what I've read really hlep. See Graciecat's result with this under the topic I mentioned above. By the way, popping and cracking in the ears and what feels like pain in the glands in your neck is common for tmjd. Just a thought.

There are so many hypothesised caused of tinnitus that I'm guessing the person who tried the cure for tinnitus you mentioned just got lucky and her outer ear canal was involved. Anything causing it beyond that, past the ear drum (cuts off the outer ear from the middle/inner ear) won't be affected as the solution would not get through.
