What Causes Fullness In Ear And A Bulging Ear Drum?
my ear feels blocked or have feeling of fullness since last 1 week. Also my wisdom tooth are stuck inside since last 1 year but i didnt get them extracted as they dont pain. Whenever i blow my nose out while holding it the ear opens up for a second. but again gets that feeling. Even when i shout loudly my ear drum feels like bulging towards outer side. what could be the reason?

Hello, thanks for writing HCM.
The fullness/ blocked ears are the result of infection in the Eustachian tube ( a connection between nose and middle ear). Whenever you blow by closing the nose/yawn, the feeling of fullness in the ear reduces for a moment. I suggest you to take an impedance audiometry test and consult an E.N.T. expert asap. Take care.
