Hi,
You know you have Deviated nasal septum and it is causing Eustachian tube dysfunction of that side and this is leading to fluid collecting behind the ear drum which gives you pain and heaviness in the ear also decrease the hearing, the same effect which happens while your plane is landing.
So now you know everything comes to your Deviated nasal septum, you treat it your ear will eventually get better.
