What Causes Plugged Ears And Tinnitus While Suffering From Cold?
I have had a pretty bad head cold for the last few days and am now experiencing plugged ears, but no pain in my ears, just a VERY loud motor running sound constantly in my head . I have also been having quite a bit of sinus pressure and I am noticing my hearing is being affected also. Should I see a doctor or just wait to see if this subsides by itself? I am a 64 year old female in otherwise good health.
