What Causes Blocked Ears While Having Grommets In The Ears?
Hi My daughter has had a grommet in each ear for the last 4 months. She swims a lot and wears putty ear plugs when swimming. She s just got back from swimming and is complaining that one ear feels blocked and the sound is muffled. Could she have pushed the ear plug in too far and the putty has blocked the grommet? Or some other cause? Thanks

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It may be one cause that ear plug pushed to far can block ear but she can confirm it. Try to remove it if you see it.
