I have my left ear blocked for almost a year. Blocked Eustachian tube as the ENT doctor said. Acupuncture had help releived for a while when it just begun. But it does not work now. I'm now seeing a Chinese herbalist (I live in HK). 2 months from now on, a little bit of improvement. He said that he is treating the blocked nose for the blocked ear. He said it took time to cure. Will let you know if it work. It is so poor to hear that so many of you are suffering for such a long time.
