Suggest Treatment For Blocked Ears And Muffled Hearing, Not Cleared By Flushing
Both of my ears have been plugged up for 2 weeks, vomited in the beginning and had a cold. Tried everything My email address is I went to urgent care,they flushed out one ear, still have muffled hearing,the other ear they could not see anything and suggest I see a hearing specialist
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of blocked ears and muffled hearing, not cleared by flushing which could be due to earwax, blocked nose by cold and sinus infection, accumulation of water within the ear, changes in atmospheric pressure and blockage in the Eustachian tubes. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may order test like dix-Hallpike test , ENG , blood pressure and rotatory chair test. You should use Wax Softening Solution or wax dissolving solutions. Now, try to exhale like you are trying to breathe out. Do warm saline gargles. Get examination done by audiometer if it is really troubling. You should use nasal sprays. You should do this exercise take a deep breath and pinch your nose.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
