If you cannot equalize the pressure in your ears with any of the various manoeuvres or nasal decongestants, a physician can insert P.E.T. through your eardrums.
This relatively painless, outpatient procedure has few complications and the tubes can remain in place during the course of your treatment.
If you have P.E.T. inserted, you must not get water in your ears.
Use earplugs or apply a little water-based gel (rather than petroleum jelly), to a small cotton ball and place it in your outer ear canal before washing or bathing.
