What Causes Persistent Muffled Hearing?
Throughout the day my ears seem to plug up like I can hear myself talk and it sounds like I m in a tunnel. It happens 2-4 times a day. I don t have any other symptoms but that is and it usually lasts anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes and then it just goes away. It has been happening a little over a month now. What could it be and should I be worried?

Hello,
You should get audiometry done to rule out sensorineural hear loss and consult an ENT specialist straight away.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
