I travelled for the first time on an aircraft, and ever since I landed, my right ear seems blocked. I am able to hear properly (am taking telephone calls on that ear), but am unable to shake off the feeling that there is some air lock in the ear or something. 28 year old male, no prior history of such a condition. Please advise.
welcome to HCM! try to blow out with nose and mouth closed. take paracetamol if there is pain in ear. if still there is a problem consult an ENT specialist. good luck!
hi i had gone through your query and understand your concerns. i would come up with the possibility of BAROTRAUMA may be the cause for your sufferings.
-the stress exerted on the eardrum when the air pressure in your middle ear and air pressure in the environment are out of balance
it may be resolved spontaneously
wishing you good health
