Brief Answer:
Need more information for further comments.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM.

There could be many reason behind ear blockage like,
excess wax deposition,
fluid accumulation,
middle ear bacterial or fungal infection or
upper respiratory infection.

So we need to rule out all the above causes one by one by taking complete medical history and clinical examination of ear canal with some relevant investigations (if required).

And hence I would like to know some more information from you,

Do you have ear pain or some hissing sound (tinnitus) from ear or itching or any discharge?

Do you have any other symptoms like fever or sore throat or cold?

Kindly get back to me with more information as i asked.

Regards,

Dr. XXXXXXX kabra
