Will Congestion Cause Ear Fullness?

Hi, I had a Septoplasty and Turbinate Reduction Procedure last May to help eliminate my Ear fullness and cracking... I ve suffered from nasal congestion since childhood and thought that maybe that was the cause of the ear fullness, but it appears not to be the case. I ve had a puretone audiogram which give back results showing hearing loss. The impedance audiogram, came back with a wave display similar to the one in the picture. The ENT specialist who I saw at the time said that the results were normal, and that there wasn t much more he could offer me.
