I've had sinus trouble all my life...it even showed up on my bone scan! However, until chemo/radiation, I never had trouble with my ears. Now I do. It started during radiation...slight dizziness, a feeling of fullness in my right ear. I told my doctors, but they kinda looked at me like I was nuts. Since then, I've had middle ear infections and a lot of congestion and drainage in my eustacian tubes.

I have always had sinus and ear problems , but its seems like I get more earaches and feels like there is fluid in my ears too. Havent noticed how long I have had it, but if I use the homeopathic earache drops from CVS, it goes away for awhile.

I had ear ache with taxotere. I generally have a problem with fluid in the ears (like a little kid, except I never outgrew it properly). The taxotere made my eyes run, my nose run and made my voice "thick," as if I had a sore throat. So it also made fluid accumulate in my ear.
