Have your ears been affected at all?

I seem to have gone slightly deaf in my right ear... 'cos your nose throat and ears are connected I'm wondering if it's like when you're on a plane and your ears won't pop...

anyone else had problems with their ears at all?

any advice appreciated!

I sometimes get ringing in my ears (I have TMJ though), but it has actually been reduced since getting braces/changing my bite. So... maybe it's just a coincidence and is unrelated to your braces?

hmm maybe, but I've never had this before... I sometimes can't get my ears to pop after flying but it goes away in a couple of hours. This is just freaking me out a bit...
