my hearing has been really muffled lately and i think it might be glue ear ive heard about grommet surgery but im not sure if i need it or if theres other options i should try first

If you suspect glue ear and are concerned about muffled hearing, it's best to consult a doctor or audiologist. While grommet surgery (myringotomy with grommet insertion) can be a solution for persistent glue ear, it's not always the first step. Other options include observation, medications (like antibiotics or decongestants), and temporary use of hearing aids.

I have a deviated nasal septum and surgery isn't an option for me right now are there any long-term fixes that can help with breathing better or reducing discomfort without going under the knife?
Surgery is the only way to fix a deviated septum. A deviated septum that causes no symptoms needs no treatment. If allergies or sinus problems are making symptoms worse, a healthcare professional might suggest using decongestants, antihistamines or nasal steroid sprays to manage symptoms
