✈️ Traveling with Ménière’s Disease: What You Should Know

Living with Ménière’s disease doesn’t mean giving up travel—but it does mean planning smart.

Changes in pressure, dehydration, fatigue, and stress can all increase the risk of vertigo, fullness, tinnitus, or hearing fluctuations while traveling. With the right preparation, many patients travel safely and comfortably.

Travel tips for Ménière’s patients:
• Stay well hydrated—especially on flights
• Limit salt, caffeine, and alcohol before and during travel
• Get adequate rest and pace your itinerary
• Carry prescribed medications in your carry-on
• Choose aisle seating and avoid sudden head movements
• Manage stress—travel fatigue is a real trigger

If symptoms are frequent or unpredictable, a pre-travel consultation can help tailor a plan that keeps you safe and confident while away.

📍Travel wisely.

Winter weather doesn’t just affect your skin and sinuses — it can take a toll on your ears, too. ❄️👂
Cold temperatures, dry indoor air, and winter illnesses can all trigger uncomfortable ear symptoms.

Common winter-related ear issues include:
• Ear pain or aching in cold air
• Pressure or fullness
• Muffled hearing
• Increased tinnitus (ringing)
• Dizziness or balance changes

Cold air can irritate sensitive ear structures, while dry indoor heat and winter congestion can interfere with normal ear pressure and drainage.

Don’t ignore persistent symptoms.
What feels like a seasonal nuisance may signal an underlying ear condition that’s very treatable.

👨‍⚕️ Dr. Kohan provides expert evaluation and personalized care to keep your ears healthy all winter long.

If ear discomfort is lingering, worsening, or affecting your balance or hearing, a professional evaluation can make all the difference.

❄️ Winter Weather, Healthy Ears! ❄️
Cold air, dry heat, and seasonal viruses can take a real toll on your ear health. Protecting your ears during the winter months can help prevent infections, discomfort, and hearing changes.

Here’s how to stay ahead of winter ear issues:
👂 Keep your ears warm
Cold temperatures can reduce blood flow and make the ear canal more vulnerable. Wear a hat or earmuffs outdoors.

💧 Combat dryness
Indoor heating can dry out the ear canal. A humidifier at home can help keep your ears—and your sinuses—comfortable.

🦠 Watch out for seasonal viruses
Colds and upper-respiratory infections are a major cause of ear infections. Wash hands often, avoid touching your face, and stay hydrated.

🚫 Skip the cotton swabs
Dry winter skin may tempt you to “clean out” your ears, but swabs can push wax deeper and irritate the canal. Let professionals handle ear cleanings.

🏥 Know when to get checked
Ear pain, sudden hearing changes, pressure, or persistent fullness should be evaluated promptly—especially in winter months.

Expert Ear Care, All Year Round

Earwax (cerumen) actually protects your ears — it traps dust, bacteria, and debris before they can reach your eardrum. 🧡
But too much of a good thing can cause:
🚫 Blocked or muffled hearing
⚡ Ear pain or ringing
😵 Dizziness or fullness

And here’s the important part:
👉 Never use cotton swabs or objects to “clean” your ears.
They often push wax deeper, risking impaction or even injury to the eardrum.

✅ Instead:
• Use a warm, damp cloth to clean only the outer ear
• Try ear drops or saline solution if recommended by your ENT
• Schedule a professional cleaning for safe removal

If you’re dealing with fullness, ringing, or hearing loss that doesn’t clear up, an evaluation can help — safely and comfortably.

Ever notice your ears pop or feel “full” when the seasons shift? 🍂
That sensation is caused by changes in barometric pressure, which can affect the Eustachian tube—the tiny passage that helps balance air pressure behind your eardrum.

When that tube doesn’t open or close properly (often during sudden temperature drops, allergy flare-ups, or sinus congestion), pressure builds up and you may feel:
👂 Ear fullness or muffled hearing
🌬️ Popping or crackling sounds
🤕 Mild ear pain or dizziness

✅ Most cases are temporary, but if the pressure or discomfort lasts more than a few days, it’s worth being checked by an ENT specialist to rule out infection or fluid buildup.

🎧 Understanding Acoustic Neuromas

Acoustic neuromas (also known as vestibular schwannomas) are rare, benign tumors that grow on the hearing and balance nerves connecting the ear to the brain.
While not cancerous, they can press on surrounding nerves and structures, leading to symptoms such as:
👂 Gradual hearing loss
🔊 Ringing in one ear (tinnitus)
⚖️ Imbalance or dizziness
💫 Facial numbness or weakness (in advanced cases)

Treatment depends on the size and growth of the tumor — but precision and experience are key.

Dr. Darius Kohan, a nationally recognized neurotologist and skull base surgeon, is a leading expert in acoustic neuroma surgery and management. His approach focuses on:
🔹 Hearing preservation whenever possible
🔹 Protection of facial nerve function
🔹 Comprehensive, individualized treatment plans

👂✈️ Do you experience ear pressure, pain, or fullness when flying, diving, or during allergy season?
You may be dealing with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction—a condition where the tube that helps regulate ear pressure becomes blocked.

✅ Eustachian Tube Balloon Plasty is a minimally invasive in-office procedure that gently opens the Eustachian tube using a small balloon. This restores proper function, relieves discomfort, and improves ear health—often with long-lasting results.

✨ Quick. Safe. Effective.
✨ Helps reduce chronic ear pressure and infections.
✨ Lets you return to daily life with less disruption.

If ear pressure is affecting your quality of life, this procedure may be the solution you’ve been looking for.

📍 To see if you are a candidate for this procedure, schedule a consultation with Dr. Kohan.

☀️👂 Late Summer Ear Health Tips 👂☀️

As summer winds down, we often squeeze in those last days at the pool, the beach, or outdoor concerts. But did you know that late summer activities can put extra stress on your ears?

✅ Swimming & Ear Health – Prolonged time in water can lead to “swimmer’s ear” (an ear canal infection). Dry your ears gently after swimming and consider using ear drops designed to keep them clear.

✅ Seasonal Allergies – Late summer pollen can cause congestion and affect the Eustachian tubes, sometimes leading to ear pressure or infections. Managing your allergies helps protect your ear health too.

✅ Noise Awareness – Outdoor events, concerts, and even lawn equipment can expose you to high noise levels. Use ear protection when needed to prevent long-term hearing damage.

Taking a few simple steps can help you enjoy the season while protecting your hearing. If you’re experiencing pain, pressure, or changes in your hearing, don’t wait—schedule a consultation today.

🎶 Weddings are known for joy, dancing, and celebration—but also for loud music. While the beats may get everyone on the dance floor, prolonged exposure to high volumes can put your hearing at risk.

💡 Quick tip: If you find yourself shouting to talk to the person next to you, the music is too loud. Protect your ears by taking breaks away from the speakers, using discreet earplugs, or giving your ears quiet time after the event.

Your hearing health matters—not just for the big day, but for all the days that follow. 👂✨
