Hello,
The ear, nose and throat, as you probably already know, are interconnected, that is, they communicate with each other. By saying this, you may have a notion, that certain sensory nerves (sensations of touch, pain, thermal) are shared by these areas. Therefore, it is important to perform a good physical examination, and locate the area primarily affected, because, if your affected area is throat, your ears, although not being the affected area may manifest symptoms (in your case sensation of auditory fullness).
It would be very important to know from when you are presenting this problem, when was your last infection of the upper airways (ear, nose, throat), if you had any trauma (if any food has hurt you when you swallowed). If you were already valued by an ENT, it really seems strange to me that you still have doubts about it. If I were your doctor I would really check your throat and ears very well, so I could rule out by myself some diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
