Talk about resurrecting an old thread lol
If everyone thinks alike, then someone isn't thinking.
Everyone knows something, together we could know everything.

RE: a fix for ear popping with cpap
Really? Only swallowing when exhaling is only possible if you are awake all night! Unfortunately, ear popping with swallowing will wake many people up at night while using the CPAP. This is destructive to the intent of using the CPAP. Real solutions for ear popping entail addressing sinus inflammation, airway inflammation, eustachion tube dysfunction. I never realized how often I swallow at night until my ears began popping all night long, waking me up on and off all night. Only swallow when exhaling - Indeed! How sophistic!

Don't swallow until you breath out.  

That's it, and I am happy to say, not only did this stop air from filling the eustachian tubes, but it popped out the remaining poppage I was fighting.

My doc is a hosehead too.  I think I will keep him Smile

thanks

that was a very useful tip !!

This thread has really helped me! Although I think I remembered it backwards - I was swallowing after a full inhale... which helped a lot!

Maybe I don't swallow once I'm asleep? This only bothers me (as far as I'm aware of) while I'm trying to fall asleep.

The doctor says coffee does not affect my tinnitus and it's got lots of antioxidants....however, the after dinner drinks are a different matter altogether.
