What Causes Numbness And Pressure In The Ears?
I am having an issue with my ear. I went to the doctor 7 days ago and he said it did not appear to be infected, but the tube could be blocked which is causing numbness and a feeling of fullness. It also sound tinney and pops if I move my outer ear. He gave me a corti-steroid pack which I finished Saturday. It actually feels worse

This is due to eustachian tube blockage, did you have a cold attack in recent past. If so Valsalva manoeuvre can improve your symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
