Why Your Ears Are Clogged: Uncovering the Common Causes

Blocked ears may stem from several factors, frequently due to obstructions in the Eustachian tube responsible for regulating ear pressure.

Frequent causes encompass wax accumulation in the ears, liquid resulting from sinus infections or common colds, as well as allergic reactions leading to swelling and blockage.

Changes in air pressure experienced during flights or elevation alterations may result in transient ear blockage. Sometimes, the problem could stem from swimmer’s ear—a condition caused by water getting stuck inside the ear—which leads to an infection.

Less frequently, underlying issues such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders might play a role.

Pinpointing the root cause is essential for effective treatment, which may include decongestants, ear drops, or professional medical help for ongoing or distressing symptoms.
