hi,yes im having the same problem right now with fluid in both ears for about 6mths! im currently try sudafed decongestants from the chemist,which has helped a little to dry the fluid,it has improved are bit.
i have also tried to are few drops of collidial silver from the health shop(a natural antibiotic) which helped the infection and to clear some of(what ever the coloured stuff was that came out! :) this was done twice are day,anything to avoid the ent department,as my doc didint recommend having tubes.that echo sound is like broken speakers !yeah i know its frustrating, do recommend the SUDAPHED for sinus pain,night and day tablets. i tried the sinus rinse too but found it made the fluid to slosh around and make are roaring sound.. good luck..hope this has helped.

p.s also chewing gum can help open the eutaschian tubes in the ears,filling a white sock with sallt and heat are little in microwave and lay ear on it,this helps with any ache,yeah ive been trying everything..see u

The nasal douche may help relieve some of the pressure you are feeling. You should take some sudafed, which will help also. Maybe some claritin or any other antihistamine to dry up the water, but the sudafed would be the best.

it helps me a lot because I have chronic blocked eustachean tubes and the rinsing out of my sinuses helps to unblock them from the other end. make sure you are using saline water though as regular water will sting. Also do not use regular table salt that is iodized because the iodine will burn too.....use kosher salt or pickling salt and mix about 1/4 tsp to cup of water and clean away. when I'm having ear problems, I do it every night before bed and then first thing when I wake up.
