Can A Concussion Cause Eustachian Tube Dysfunction?

Hello, is it possible to have Eustachian tube dysfunction after a concussion? I fell off a cliff and ever since my fall ( 5 months ago) I have had pressure in my head and developed tinnitus. I have gone to many doctors but nobody has been able to give me an explanation to the pressure I am feeling in my head except for saying its post concussion symptoms . Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Concussion does not cause such problems. You can do steam inhalation to open up blocked sinuses. If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
