I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!

Grrr ... My ears are so plugged right now. Actually, they aren't plugged. They are the opposite of plugged. There is a vacuum between my eustachian tube and my ear drum (Figure 1). I feel like my voice is trapped inside my head. Sweet Lord, why won't my ears pop!? It has been this way for 6 days and I need some relief so I am asking for suggestions. Don't suggest Sudafed or guaifenesin (Mucinex) - been there, tried that, no luck.




Figure 1.






Here is something totally random, but made me chuckle just now. I am at the computer at my Kechi weekend vacation home (sounds better when I talk about my dual life like that) and I see a CD titled "Yeast Movies" near the keyboard. What could be more exciting? I was thinking of going to Quantum of Solace tonight, but maybe I will just stay in and watch "Yeast Movies" with my lover. Yep, nothin' says lovin' like yeast.

I don't know if this will do anything in your extreme case of six days of pluggage, but to pop my ears I pinch my nose, close my mouth tightly, and blow/breathe as hard as I can through my nose.
