Hi Chris,

Though I am no longer flying, I've been dealing with plugged Eustachian 
tubes for the past three months.  I went to an ENT specialist, who said I 
had fluid in my ears.  He prescribed a week of steroids along with a 
decongestant, but nothing changed very much.  I have also tried 
antihistimines, because this condition is often allergy-related, and that 
did offer some help, but the tubes are still not clear.  Wish I could find 
the magic cure!
