Summary
A 23-year-old woman with single-sided deafness developed persistent ear fullness, popping and congestion, plus fatigue and trouble thinking, after COVID in August 2023; her 2020 infection had caused no lasting effects. Doctor and ENT visits led to medication and nasal sprays that did not help, and Eustachian tube exercises gave only temporary relief. She was still symptomatic when she posted in December 2023.
