Could there be a connection between my tinnitus, which has seemed louder to me for about a month now, and my blocked Eustachian tube?

Inflammation in the Eustachian tube can indeed be related to worsening tinnitus. Treatment options may include cortisone aerosol to reduce inflammation. It is also recommended to use nasal hygiene products like saline solutions to help alleviate nasal congestion, possibly improving the effectiveness of the corticosteroid treatment. It is recommended to give the corticosteroid treatment time to take effect, usually around 7 to 10 days. If there are any further questions, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional.
