they were both plugged up last week. Now, the left one is mainly the one that's still plugged up. I haven't had a sinus infection, or a cold, or an ear ache. So, it beats me why it's plugged up.It kinda feels like when you drive up a high hill , or are on an airplane.
I've tried home remedies to no avail. Please don't tell me to try hydrogen peroxide, b/c once my former Dr. put some in my ear and I got so dizzy, almost fainted. Thank you for your help :-)

I have this problem in my right ear, been to see all the specialists etc, something to do with the "eustacian tube"(spelling?) in the inner ear, absolutely nothing you can do about it, bloody annoying at times but you get used to it.

I get blocked up ears from time to time, more so now that I have hearing aids. I have mine syringed about once a year, and I put a few drops of earex or olive oil drops in them about once a week. Apparently the ears produce wax when you wear hearing aids or any other listening devices in the ears, it's how the ears react to a foreign body in the ear.

Sorry to be so simple but could it be water? Can you remember if you showered prior to this happening?

Thanks, everyone for trying to help. It helps to know that this happened to some of you and you're dealing with it. What scares me is that my 80 yr. old friend said that some years ago when her ear plugged up, the Dr. said that there was no wax in there and that her hearing is gone in that ear. He said maybe b/c it was loud noises. She said what loud noises ? I said maybe when your 4 kids were screaming .She said then why didn't all the other mothers have hearing impairments ? Good point. Back in the 90s when my step grandson screamed at the top of his lungs in a high pitched scream, my one ear was kinda plugged up for 2 or 3 days. After that I wore ear plugs around them and when out in public.
