I have been using my cpap now for six months. I have a small improvement also in my hearing. My biggest problem with me ears prior to cpap was a feeling of fullness in ears and that has all gone away. I saw 2 ENT's for that fullness and increased pressure feeling and no one ever suggested a sleep study.

I'm hoping it works for me too. My ears have been popping. Yes, I've noticed ENT's don't pay attention to that complaint of pressure or fullness in the ears. They just want to sell you a hearing aid. The description of Tinnitus just doesn't fit. Had one actually tell me it wasn't pressure I was feeling, it was deafness because all of the little hairs in my ear suddenly broke off. Actually, my ear just popped one day, sitting one the sofa, like I'd gone up in altitude. I seriously have always doubted that all those little hairs took that exact moment break and die to create that "pop".
