I have a blocked feeling and throbbing in my right ear...seems to be affected by barometric changes in the weather. It comes and goes but today it isn t going away and it s starting to hurt and the throbbing is incessant. I was tumbled really hard in a shore break in Hawaii about three weeks ago, causing an instant blocked feeling and it hurt like nothing else I ve ever experienced. I m an avid swimmer and have experience this ongoing ear discomfort. Sometimes both ears are blocked and its is difficult to speak and hear, though my right ear is the on that experienced the trauma of sand and sea water forcefully entering my ear canal. I would love any suggestions. I d love to treat it at home. Thank you Jemma
