Clogged ears are often extremely irritating and uncomfortable. You may feel as if every sound around you is echoing. If you have water in your ears, it is possible that you may have clogged ears for several days. Often, clogged ears are caused due to sudden changes in the pressure around you. Airplane descents and blowing hard when chewing gum could cause a sudden change in pressure, subsequently leading to clogged ears.

Some of the other causes of clogged ears include water in the middle ear, diving in deep sea, viral infections, perforated or ruptured ear drums due to injuries and infections, sinus infections, sore throat infections, swimmer’s ears and other fungal infections, bacterial infections, tonsillitis, boils in the outer ear, infected or swollen lymph nodes, common colds, otitis media, and wax blockage in the ears.

Throat infections usually travel up through the ear, nose throat canal, causing the ears to get clogged. You may also experience clogged ears when you have sinusitis and clogged sinuses. When the sinus cavities of the face are clogged, along with headaches and facial pain, you may also experience a change in the pressures in and around your face. Different clogged ears symptoms are associated with different causes of clogged ears.

If you want to get rid of clogged ears, start off by determining the cause. If the cause of your clogged ears is a viral, fungal, or bacterial infection, you will need to get medication for the infections. Sinus infections that cause clogged ears are treated differently from when the condition is caused due to water inside the ears.

In case you have been swimming, or have got water in your ears, the ears will feel clogged till the water pours out or dries out. You can use a hair dryer or a heat pack around the ears to evaporate the water and relieve the pressure and clogging. You can use a moist heating pad by placing it right next to your ears.

Yawning frequently will help you decrease the pressure and offer you relief from clogged ears. You may not be able to get your ears unclogged the first time you yawn, but as you continue to repeat this, you will hear a ‘click’ sound in your ear. This will open up your ears and relieve the pressure inside. You can also try swallowing or sipping warm water slowly. Chewing gum may also help in relieving the pressure and unclogging your ears.

The human body has a complex structure. There are tiny air cavities in your skull known as the sinus cavities. These allow air to pass through them and filter the air to get rid of germs and microbes. However, some people suffer from sinus allergies. The sinuses can get inflamed when an allergy is triggered off, and since the cavities are very small, the inflammation causes a person to have trouble breathing.

The sinuses often inflamed when you have a cold or the flu; allergies and other environmental factors such as dust and pollen can also irritate the membranes. Smoking may also trigger allergic reactions, and once the sinus cavities are blocked, there is a lot of fluid accumulation and the infection spreads to the ear canal as well.

Not only do sinus infections cause pain in the sinus cavities, they also cause problems in breathing, headaches, and ear aches. If the allergy is mild, the ears do not ache, but are simply clogged. So yes, clogged ears from allergies are possible. When the sinus allergy is treated, it usually helps unclog the ears as well. Using steam to unclog the sinus cavities would also help unclog your ears. You can have a hot shower and allow yourself to remain in the steam to unclog your sinus cavities. This is a great clogged ear treatment.

• Chew sugar free gums to promote extra saliva production and act of swallowing.
• Yawning often also helps to unclog the ears.
