I recently had several 8-hour-plus flights and a sinus condition
afterwards. After a week I noticed that my little under-pillow speaker (very quiet) on which I listen to the BBC or similar if I can't sleep, was audible in my left ear but when I rolled over on my right almost totally inaudible at low and mid frequencies. Experimenting over the next few days I decided that from 3kHz and lower I had an approx 20dB loss. I went to an audiologist, and being slightly embarrassed to make the claim of 20dB (seemingly ridiculously high), I suggested that I might be 10dB down. Her testing revealed that I was in fact 25dB down at those frequencies. So not a bad initial estimate from me after all I thought ! Determined by the bone conduction part of the test, fortunately this seems to be a temporary condition, relating to a blocked eustachian tube. Lots of decongestant and eucalyptus oil fumes don't seem to have cleared things yet, so semi-mono for a while yet I'm afraid.... geoff |

Sorry I can't offer any help with the on topic post, but if you're getting chronic sinus infections I would highly recommend starting a daily routine with a neti pot and salt solution. Since I was a kid I would get 4 sinus infections a year. Once I started using the neti pot regularly I've not gotten one.

I've been experiencing this over the last few years intermittently. I'm currently experimenting with a dairy-free diet, after reading about some studies with children whose doctors manage to avoid having to fit grommets, with such a diet. I've also had my ears cleaned with a syringe a couple of times, and that helped, but I assume your audiologist checked for whether that would help you.
Anyway, the dairy thing may be something worth investigating. Cheers, Dan. |
