5. Allergies and nasal congestion
Allergies can inflame the airways and affect the middle ear, causing blockage.
Although many causes are mild, there are signs that should not be ignored, such as sudden hearing loss, severe ear pain, ear discharge, dizziness or vertigo, and a persistent sensation for several days.
What should you do if your ears feel blocked?
One of the main measures is to yawn or swallow repeatedly, chew gum, apply steam to decongest, and stay well hydrated. Avoid inserting objects into the ear, as this can worsen the blockage or cause injury.
The sensation of blocked ears may seem harmless, but it can also be a sign that something is not working properly in your auditory system.
Paying attention to the symptoms and acting promptly is key to avoiding complications and protecting your hearing.
