What Causes Clogged Ear And Pressure In The Head?
Ok what have I got to lose? I am dealing with a clogged ear and pressure in my head for 7 months now. doctor wants me to go to TMJ class. I m open to anything. now I m experiencing pain in both ears and am using a high quality nano silver to help fight infection as doctor appointments arent available today. Doc says tubes arent guaranteed to work and will cost 5500! Need answers and want my ears and head to feel normal I must travel soon and I m afraid to get on the plane. Suggestions? I do have hearing loss especially my left ear.

Hello,
I don't see how tubes can fail to normalize pressure across the drum. Might not work on infection/hearing and really might fail at pain relief, but I don't think the drums can get more painful/distorted or burst if there are tubes.
Then, everything else is hard to say especially without looking at it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
