Question 2

can deviated septum affect ears in any way , i know its al connected but is there a relation to ears when u have deviated septum?

Accepted Answer

Dev/septum-ear/issu: Possibly since the Eustachian tubes from the inner ear travel to lateral pharyngeal walls which have an intimate relationship with the septum and airway. Best to see ENT doctor!

Question 5

i chewed a piece of mint gum for mostly all of today and a good portion of yesterday. now my ear aches. could these two be connected?

Accepted Answer

Soreness: Place your fingers just in front of your ears and open and close your mouth.  You should be pressing on the temporomandibular joint.   Are you surprised your ear hurts?

Question 6

had a bout of dizziness while driving. had to pull over, it lasted maybe 5 min. have been having ear problems connected to allergies. ?

Accepted Answer

Possible BPV: In general, people refer to dizziness when they feel either lightheaded or have a spinning sensation better known as vertigo. If the dizzy spell is truly a spinning sensation then we usually think of conditions such as benign positional vertigo, labyrinthitis or Meniere's disease. Other conditions such as acoustic neuromas and even brainstem strokes should also be considered.

Question 7

ear flushed out over 24hrs ago. nurse used instrument connected to the sink & aggresively flushed my ear for few mins. now dizzy.is there damage?

Accepted Answer

No damage only: .. cold water put into your ear can cause severe dizziness that would spontaneously resolve after a few hours to day.  Cold water flushed into the outer ear canal will lower the temperature and viscosity of your inner ear labyrinthine fluid, and change the movement of the tiny crystals which help determine balance and equilibrium.

Question 8

theres a fluttering/crackling in my left ear. it comes and goes. not painful. i did have sinus problems the past few days. could they be connected?

Accepted Answer

Sinus ear poppling: Yes  - sinus infections can block the Eustachian tube which connect the inner ear with the back of the throat - allowing the pressure in the ear to equalize  - think of what happens as a plane takes off - you have to swallow or chew gum to prevent ear pressure  - both those actions opens that tube.     
Generally this resolves as the infection is treated/clears.  
good luck

Question 9

is the ear connected to the nose?if that so if you sneeze much , your ear can have sudden pains .is it true?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Your eustachian canal connects your ear to your upper airway.  When you sneeze you can increase the pressure in your ear somewhat as you can when scuba diving or going up in an airplane.

Question 10

i have clear no smell fluid drainge from my left ear. also had eagle syndrome surgery on same side. could it be connected?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: In short, yes the drainage can be from the surgery if you had a styloidectomy. However, it depends on how long ago you had the surgery and how long after that you had the drainage. In any case you need to have that checked to make sure there is not an abscess formation or a draining post-operative cyst or some other abnormality associated with the ear
