@AFWIFE   I think my husband is near a month with his symptoms..he insisted on anoter ENT appt today and surprisingly they had a opening today!!  

His anxiety is high - and the NP at the ENT office is going to discuss with his primary something to help him with the anxiety...everythng the doctor has given him makes him very sleepy and he cannot function.  There was no change in his ears or nose, she cannot find any thing 'wrong' except the fact that his hearing is muffled.

He is 84...and only one other time has he had anxiety like this and it was probably at least 10-12 years ago when the same thing happened.  Xanax was given to him short term for the anxiety...his primary refuses to prescribe that drug, do to his age and he said it is very easy to get addicted.

He walks a lot...for about 30 minutes each time he goes out and he as dropped quite a few pounds.

I am sorry for all of this.  I can't imagine how frustrating it must be.  I hope he can find some relief.  Xanax is a very powerful antianxiety, maybe the Dr. would be willing to give him something else that could also work.  Whatever the case may be I sure hope it gets resolved for his sake and yours!!!!  Hang in there. Hugs to you.
