Why are my ears always popping/blocked?
925728
I have the same issue.  When it flares up, I take a non-drowsy, 12 hour decongestant (alavert is good) and that usually takes care of the problem. \nDo you have vertigo? My doctor says that sometimes accompanies this ear-popping/blocked issue. \n\nGood luck, try the decongestant, don't take more than you need.

I had the exact same thing happen to me a few months ago.  It was an infection.  When an infection is present in the body the lymph nodes are the first things to catch it and react.  That's why your node is swollen.  I took a week of antibiotics and it cleared up within a couple of days.  Those little cysts show up in ears all the time, and if they turn into infections all you need is an antibiotic.  You'll be better in no time.

Because your ears aren't sensitive enough\nbut actually if they are sensitive enough, u can hear it.

You most likely have an ear infection. I would head to the doctor.

It could be that you have fluid in it. Have you had a cold or been swimming? Does it hurt or are you dizzy? Keep check for those things and go to the dr if it starts. If its water in the ear mix up 1 part vinegar and 1 part alcohol and drop some in your ear. Don't use cold water it hurts!

I have the same thing and I looked it up on the internet and a big cause of that is chocolate be cause of the caffine I qiute eating chocolate and dring decaf and stay away from alot of soda that has caffine in them there could also other reasons for it and it could be inner ear problems but I would go to the dr and find out what is causing it. I should take my own advise but I have a fear of drs, god bless.

Gonna have to go to the doc for this one, Hon.  It could be a couple of things.  Maybe, an inner ear infection.  And you would need antibiotics.

It seems as though something is keeping sound from traveling through your ear.  It could be wax build-up, as the use of cotton swabs can push the wax deeper into the ear, eventually forming a plug.  \n\nOr it could be Eustachian Tube dysfunction.  Behind your ear drum is an air pocket - the middle ear - that is connected to the back of the throat by the Eustachian tube. That tube will open and close again when swallowing or yawning to equalize the air pressure in the middle ear to that of the environment around you. That is why it is often recommended to chew gum or suck on hard candy during take-off and landing in an airplane.  \n\nFor some people, the Eustachian tube does not function properly, and when the pressure builds up, sound can be muffled and you might hear noises (like ringing) in your ears.  If the pressure does not resolve, it can lead to a build up of fluid behind the eardrum, which restricts its movement even more.\n\nIf your eustachian tubes are not functioning properly, which can be due to upper respiratory ailments like allergies, or a cold, or sore throat; and the pressure can be quite painful.  Some people take antihistamines and/or decongestants to keep the upper respiratory system clear. \n\nIf the pressure persists, you could try to force some air into the middle ear by holding your breath (pinch your nose if needed) and blowing gently and steadily for a few seconds to force air pressure through the Eustachian tubes into the middle ear.  This is called a ValSalva maneuver -- be careful not to blow too hard or you could damage your ears.\n\nIf you have any other symptoms, like significant hearing loss, humming/buzzing sounds, dizziness/spinning, fever, or drainage from the ear, see an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist.

Go to the doctor.  It could be an infection and with tubes that can cause deafness.  Hope you feel better soon.

It's most likely that you are suffering from allergies, if you find that your nose is running alot or even if you are blowing it alot, and maybe even sucking it back up sometimes, these are symptoms that cause a back up, your nasal tubes are connected to your ear tubes, It's that time of year you probrably need to take a prescribed          \nantihistimine, they are the most likely to work and trust they work good!

Sounds to me, you might have tinnitus like I do! See an ENT, the'll have you get an MRI of the head and if they don't find anything wrong, I'm afraid they'll tell you what they told me, learn to live with it which is easy for them to say!! I've had it for a year now and I don't mean to discourage you but the noise drives you crazy!!!

I myself have awful trouble with this complaint as well.  I tend to suffer allot from ear infections because of this my doctor always told me to cover up my ears as the cold and wind will affect them due to my ears not producing enough wax which allows the breeze and cold too affect them

if you have problems like this you better consult a physician specializing in EENT and could give you antibiotics for the allergies and for sure the doctor will clean your ears there might be wax inside your ear that causes you a hearing difficulty. once the fax is flashed you hearing will now be alright.

You probably have fluid behind your eardrum.  You may have just a cold or you may have an infection.  A doctor or ENT can look in your ears and tell you if you need to take a decongestant or not.  Try pinching your nose closed and blowing or swallowing, it can sometimes clear your ears.

it's called Tinnitis, and it's usually caused by damage to the inner ear.\n\nit's a lifelong curse, i'm afraid - so get used to it.  if it ever gets so bad it's driving you crazy, they can give you a specially made hearing aid that generates noise of the approximate same type constantly, which will train your brain into ignoring it.\n\ni've got it, and it usually dosen't bother me that much...
