My ears feel full, like I've climbed a high mountain (aural fullness).

It is Eustachian tube dysfunction. This occurs when the tube connecting the nose and ear doesn't open properly (obstruction) or opens too much (patulous), leading to impaired pressure regulation. Causes can include nasal congestion (rhinitis), temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems, or rapid weight loss.

침을 삼켜도 귀가 뚫리지 않아 답답함을 느끼시는 분들이 많습니다.

  • 이관 개방증: 내 숨소리가 귀에서 크게 들린다면 이관이 계속 열려 있는 상태일 수 있습니다. 특히 체중이 급격히 감소해 지방이 줄어들면 발생하기 쉽습니다.
  • 치료: 이관 주변 근육을 침으로 자극하여 기능을 회복하도록 돕습니다.
💡 고개 숙이기

이관 개방증은 고개를 숙이거나 누웠을 때 증상이 일시적으로 완화되는 특징이 있습니다.
