A blocked ear can cause a very uncomfortable sensation, leading to decreased hearing, bothersome pressure, and sometimes even dizziness. This problem can be caused by several factors. Fortunately, there are natural solutions to quickly relieve this discomfort.
Why do we get blocked ears? (1/12)
Earwax is a substance naturally produced by the ear to protect it. However, an excessive buildup can form a plug, obstructing the ear canal and causing a feeling of fullness. Excessive use of cotton swabs can also worsen the situation by pushing the earwax deeper.
Or there are infections and nasal congestion (2/12).
Ear infections or congestion related to a cold, sinusitis, or allergies can cause a blockage. Inflammation and mucus can obstruct the Eustachian tube, preventing proper air and fluid flow in the middle ear.
