What Causes Dulled Hearing And Clogged Ears?

Possible ( eusthacian tube dysfunction + senile deafness)
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns that you are having sounds in ear.
Based on your clinical details, it (sounds) occurs to be due to both aged onset deafness(sensorineural deafness) and conductive deafness ( eusthacian tube dysfunction secondary to stuffy nose).
As such, sensorineural deafness is common after 60 years, presents with sounds ( tinnitus) and blockage.
I suggest you to to consult ent surgeon and get detailed ent examination, audiometry ( type and degree of hearing loss, eusthacian tube dysfunction). Depending on the examination reports further treatment is required accordingly.
Mean time, do steam inhalation to clear thick secretions from nose and sinuses, do valsalva exercises ( watch you tube video).
Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
