What Causes Sudden Pressure In The Head With Muffled Sound In The Ears?
What might cause sudden pressure in my head that causes the sound to be muffled? The pressure only lasts a matter of seconds and the sound goes in and out as if I were putting my hands over my ears and taking them off repeatedly and this has been going on for at least a few years but only occurs about once a month or less.

Hello,
It could be due to a condition called tinnitus. As of now, you can try drugs like betahistine for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
