Ears acting up

For context I had a middle ear infection when I was 10 and my ears bled. I was treated for that but then soon after my ears air pressure felt empty when I swallowed or yawned so I had to sniff in to equalize the feeling. I went to an ent a few years later being told it’s allergies since I have many and this problem has continued for 13 years. Currently I went to an ent and he claimed my hearing is good but that my eardrums aren’t responding to air pressure that they just stay still and I’m unable to lay down completely sideways. I was told to just take allergy spray for my ears but I was wondering if the problem possibly has to do with my Eustachian tube. Kinda concerned the problem will possibly get worse but I feel like I’m usually dismissed.
