    Ears can become clogged for a variety of reasons. Most commonly, this is due to air pressure changes in the environment from changing elevation while driving or flying. However, there are a number of different reasons that your ears can feel clogged including having a sinus infection or something even more serious.
    This clogged sensation is often caused by your Eustachian Tube not opening and passing air through to your middle ear space. This causes a negative pressure that gives you the perception of clogged ears and sometimes pain. Swallowing typically opens the Eustachian Tube, but doesn't work all of the time.
    Getting your ears to unclog can be difficult for some individuals. Here are 5 ways you can unclog your ears when swallowing isn't enough.
    1. Valsalva Maneuver - This is where you simply plug your nose and try to blow air out of it.
    2. Lowry Method - This is where you combine the Valsalva Maneuver with swallowing at the same time.
    3. Yawning - Sometimes simply yawning will open the Eustachian Tube just enough to let air pass through.
    4. Having someone blow in your nose - Forcing air through your nose while swallowing can push air through your Eustachian Tube, however this can be dangerous if a person is doing it...and it's gross!
    5. Using the Eustachi - The Eustachi is a tool that gently pushes air through your nostril while you swallow. This pushes air through the Eustachian Tube gently and can unclog even the most stubborn ears.
    Eustachi: www.walmart.com/ip/Eustachi-E...
    If these methods don't work there could be other reasons for your clogged ears.
    1. Earwax impaction - This is where earwax plugs up your outer ear.
    2. Fluid - If your middle ear is filled with fluid, you may need medical treatment to fix it. One option is to have Pressure Equalization (PE) tubes inserted into your eardrum.
    3. Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSHL) - This condition is very serious and often only gives the perception of being clogged in one ear. Treatment of this condition is extremely time sensitive and you should see an Audiologist immediately.

      I have a Eustachi and it is. Life saver! I almost always have Eustachian tube dysfunction with colds and it tends to cause my a lot of anxiety but the Eustachi works to get my ears unclogged. Sometimes I have to use it a few times in a row and if my ear is really stuck then I take a big sip of water to swallow as I use it and that almost always does the trick!

    Hey I had clogged ear for 2 weeks.
    Some tips:
    1. Go in ☀️. It is a possibility that you are having cold.
    2. Do the exercise that is in this video
    3. Wait. Be composed and calm. You will get back your hearing ability after few days. It's absolutely fine.
    I pray that you get better soon.

      Hey guys! As of right now, my RIGHT ear is now clogged. Left one unclogged about a week after I got some strong meds (Flonase, prednisone, Zyrtec and mucinex) Unfortunately, the only thing we can do when this is happening is to wait. The meds don’t work right away, but they will work if they’re what you need. So if you have congestion AND ear fullness/dulled hearing, you likely need Flonase or some corticosteroid nasal spray, prednisone and possibly other meds.
      Think positive thoughts (as hard as it may be, this WILL somewhat help) and work with your doctor.

    Just came here to say you helped save my hearing. I found this video when trying to figure out why my ear just "shut off" 50% of my hearing on my left side... Your tag at the end to see a doc in case it was SSHL was what I needed to "hear" for sure. I was at my PCP 3 days after the loss who started me on steroids... 5 days later I was at an ENT who did a full eval and confirmed SSHL. I had the steroid shot in my eardrum and happy to say 2 weeks later my hearing has nearly returned to normal. Only a slight remnant of loss remains. Super thankful for your video! Doc told me she was treating 2 other patients that have been without hearing for 4 months due to SSHL that came in too late for treatment. I don't go to the doc often... glad I did this time instead of figuring it'd pass. 1 in 5,000 people experience SSHL every year... not the lottery I wanted to win, but hey, at least I overcame it! Thanks again!

      I also continue with my TCM Acupunture ear treatments in Singapore. It was clear up in the past but returns due to flu or jabs.

    Hi doctor cliff, I have had a ear blocked with wax since August 2021 and has not disappeared fully at all. One of the main causes of my ear being blocked with wax is: I went underwater for too long that day and realised in the morning I had a tiny bit of partial hearing loss. We went to the doctors the very same day, we never actually saw a doctor in the end as the hospital we went to was extremely busy that day. We did however visit our local doctors (as we were on holiday when it happened) and they said I would need to have it flushed out with a syringe filled with water if it didn't improve. It did slightly improve following this appointment and the treatment was no longer necessary. My full hearing (actually about 98%) came and went over the months until I went swimming again (😶) and a tiny bit of water entered MY left ear (my in caps for reference) and because it was mostly wax in my ear still, the water had left my ear quite quickly this time. The last few months of 2022 with the issue was OK, sort of, mostly lol. But very recently it has blocked again and I think a few days before writing this, a tiny tiny bit of water went in my left ear 😐 Also, just prior to writing this, I yawned so much it has made my left ear sound extremely muffled when I touch the outside of it. My right ear, hasn't to too bad to be honest however I think it was effected in the slightest both times I went swimming.

    I can hear fine in both ears, but I recently flew to overseas to see friends who had cats and dogs which I have significant allergies to. The ringing in my right ear is intense. Enough to keep me up at night this past week since the trip. The walk in Doc said it was tinnitus and flushed my ears - only the left ear had wax in it but the problem is with the right ear - ringing and seashell noise.

    Does anyone else experience this? Whenever my right ear is blocked, my left ear becomes very sensitive to noise to the point where even medium volume sounds can cause it to hurt. I should note that my left ear is more sensitive to noise than my right ear a little bit normally. Has anyone else experienced their non-blocked ear becoming more sensitive?

    Yea take it from me. Sometimes when I get colds or badly congested one of my ears start clogging. If you don't like that feeling of one ear under water, just try to pop that ear and it will usually work, feeling like its been cleared out. Only problem is its sometimes hard when your congested to pop your ear but if you move your jaw around alot, yawn like the video said, it can help loosen it up so popping can happen. The yawning helps on its own too. My only thing is after I do pop my ear, i get very amplified hearing and kinda airy sounds but its better than not hearing out of it, and usually it slowly 'unpops' itself. Great video though, thanks!

      Old natural treatment is very warm olive oil. Position your head sideways and place five or six drops of heated olive oil into ear (don't put dropper inside the ear!), hold your head sideways for five minutes. It will help melt wax and lubricate the ear canal. . After hold head up , let the oil out, wipe up and use a little hydrogen peroxide to finish cleaning up.
      If you're still having pain it may be a middle ear infection and you need to see a doctor.

    I’m going to leave this vent here. I used to love swimming so much, I went underwater all the time and never had any problems. One day, I was having a shower ,as normal, and water got clogged in my ear. I was so scared and I panicked. It eventually went away after a few days but I regularly got it whenever I had a bath or shower. I haven’t put my ears underwater for over a year now and I’m petrified about doing it. Anyway, last year I got a really bad cold. It clogged up my sinuses and I felt horrible. It caused a bunch of wax to form and you couldn’t see my eardrums. I eventually got it sucked out though. I felt great for a few months, but I started to make myself paranoid. I was constantly putting my fingers in my ears, always thinking there was something wrong. Today is 3 days before my birthday and I woke up, put my finger in my left ear, and clogged it somehow. Why does my life have to be like this :( I’m trying to remain positive, I have so much respect for permanently deaf people, they are true warriors. Keep going guys

      I always do this. Get some water and put about two drops of dawn dish liquid in it. The. Get a spoon and stir it so it’s kinda soapy and tilt your head put the soapy water in hold it there for about 20min then get your ear and tilt your head so it all leaks out. Put your thumb over your ear and shake it as if your trying to get something out. You might have to repeat but I’m telling you it works. Earwax always been my enemy and it has always clogged my hearing. And this trick helped break down the wax and get it out of my ear. You might have to shake your dinner like 3 or 4 times then stop to see if you can hear. The only way I say absolutely do not use the trick is if you have pain and swelling or and obvious ear infection. This is for wax removal clogging your hearing only! And you will know what I mean. If u stick something in their and push the wax it’s obvious. If you mysteriously wake up and can’t hear that is something I would see a doctor for. I know these things drive us crazy so please everyone be safe when trying to tips and tricks. Best thing if possible is to see a doctor

    THANKS SO MUCH DR! I had a clogged ear for 2 weeks and tried drops, and method one without success. After watching your video I repeated method 1 but blew harder and got instant relief. What a great feeling.
