Summary
Cove 16378 developed Eustachian tube dysfunction with loud ringing in the left ear. Over about six months the ringing slowly improved, reaching 80% better by month five. Popping the ears, a nasal spray steroid and pseudoephedrine helped; they also took antibiotics, antihistamines and occasional ibuprofen. The ears still popped but less, and the ringing was expected to clear over a few more months.
