Hello dear user! Thank you for asking us on HCM! I have gone through your query and understood your concerns.
Clogging ear may be caused by several conditions as below:
- Excessive Ear wax or inflammation which blocks the ear channel. - Eustachian tube inflammation due to viral conditions of throat, nose and upper respiratory infections in general. - Chronic infections of middle ear, which get worse time after time!
Despite the blocked ears feeling, this conditions may cause noise (tinnitus) and hearing loss. If i would be your primary doctor I would suggest you to consult an ENT doctor to find out what is the real problem which is disturbing you.
I hope you will be better soon. I wish you a good health ahead. DR ERIOL.
