However, the same ear canal that allows for the influx of sound waves allows for the outflow of earwax, and when it becomes clogged or \u2018bunged up,\u2019 things can be thrown off-kilter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether this clogging occurs as a result of causes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/319421#safety\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">outside or inside<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the ear, it can be very uncomfortable, affect your hearing, and disturb your sense of balance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#How_Do_You_Know_if_You_Have_a_Clogged_Ear\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">1<\/span> How Do You Know if You Have a Clogged Ear?\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Home_Remedies_for_a_Clogged_Middle_Ear\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">2<\/span> Home Remedies for a Clogged Middle Ear\u00a0<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Valsalva_maneuver\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">2.1<\/span> Valsalva maneuver<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Nasal_spray_or_oral_decongestants\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">2.2<\/span> Nasal spray or oral decongestants<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Home_Remedies_for_a_Clogged_Outer_Ear\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">3<\/span> Home Remedies for a Clogged Outer Ear\u00a0<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Homemade_Ear_Drops\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">3.1<\/span> Homemade Ear Drops<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Ear_Irrigation\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">3.2<\/span> Ear Irrigation<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Home_Remedies_if_Your_Clogged_Ears_Are_Due_to_Sickness_or_Allergies\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">4<\/span> Home Remedies if Your Clogged Ears Are Due to Sickness or Allergies\u00a0<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Essential_Oils\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">4.1<\/span> Essential Oils<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Warm_Compress\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">4.2<\/span> Warm Compress<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Gargle_Salt_Water\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">4.3<\/span> Gargle Salt Water<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#When_to_See_a_Doctor\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">5<\/span> When to See a Doctor<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"How_Do_You_Know_if_You_Have_a_Clogged_Ear\"><b>How Do You Know if You Have a Clogged Ear?\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing you are likely to experience if you have a clogged ear is some sort of discomfort, pain, a &#8216;bunged up&#8217; or blocked sensation, or just the feeling that something is wrong with your ear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms a clogged ear also include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earache<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing loss<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Itchiness in or around the ear<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveunion.com\/blogs\/the-olive-branch\/a-guide-to-tinnitus\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tinnitus <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(ringing in the ears)<\/span>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vertigo (a spinning feeling)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These symptoms are often caused by an earwax build-up, but can also have other causes. If they persevere for more than ten days, it is important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions, diseases, or infections. If you have hearing loss that develops suddenly, see a doctor as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can sometimes experience a blocked ear due to an allergy or infection. This might result in a few of the following symptoms:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sneezing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coughing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A sore throat<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fever (with infections)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you have a cold, flu, or period of irritation due to allergies, it is not uncommon to experience a clogged ear. Luckily, the symptoms usually subside as your body recovers and you start to feel better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although you might need medication to treat your clogged ear or end up needing to see a doctor, there are loads of effective home remedies that you can try immediately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quick treatment is still important even though you might think a clogged ear is a relatively minor issue. This is because even if your clogged ear isn\u2019t caused by an infection, an untreated blockage can lead to an infection, which then requires further treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you set about trying to unclog your ears, it\u2019s incredibly useful to determine if your problem concerns the middle ear, behind the eardrum, or the outer ear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is because different remedies work for different problems and areas of concern.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Home_Remedies_for_a_Clogged_Middle_Ear\"><b>Home Remedies for a Clogged Middle Ear\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a clogged middle ear, there are a few things you can try.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Valsalva_maneuver\"><b><i>Valsalva maneuver<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the Valsalva maneuver doesn\u2019t sound familiar, \u2018popping your ears\u2019 probably does &#8211; they mean the same thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you experience fullness or pressure in your ears and potentially also ear pain, dizziness, and muffled hearing, your eustachian tubes, running between your middle ear and the back of your nose, might be obstructed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When there are pressure changes (such as when you\u2019re moving between altitudes in an airplane) doing the Valsalva maneuver helps to open the eustachian tubes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can do this easily yourself by plugging your nose (squeezing it with your fingers) and then blowing out while keeping your lips closed (puffing out your cheeks).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blow firmly but not too hard, as this can cause problems with your eardrum. If it doesn\u2019t help you can try again, adjusting your technique slightly each time. You\u2019ll know if it has worked because you\u2019ll hear a \u2018popping\u2019 noise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swallowing, yawning, and chewing gum can also help to open your eustachian tubes in a similar way. Try these if you\u2019re having no luck with the Valsalva maneuver.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do keep in mind, however, that this will not correct conditions of excess fluid in the inner ear.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Nasal_spray_or_oral_decongestants\"><b><i>Nasal spray or oral decongestants<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although they are more useful as a preventative treatment when you\u2019re flying or if you have nasal or sinus congestion, nasal spray and oral decongestants can help to reduce your \u2018clogged up\u2019 sensations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might already have these in your medicine cupboard. If not, they are available Over-the-Counter (OTC).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Home_Remedies_for_a_Clogged_Outer_Ear\"><b>Home Remedies for a Clogged Outer Ear\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a clogged outer ear there are also a few remedies that you can try.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Homemade_Ear_Drops\"><b><i>Homemade Ear Drops<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might find that dripping mineral, olive, or baby oil into your clogged ear helps you relieve your symptoms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All you have to do is take two to three tablespoons of your oil of choice warmed up. Be careful it isn\u2019t too hot or this will be very bad news. Check whether it causes irritation by testing it carefully on your skin. Using an eyedropper drip one to two drops into your problem ear. Remember to keep your head tilted for 10 to 15 seconds to ensure it goes down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The blockage might not get better immediately, so you can do this a few times a day for up to five days until it clears.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Ear_Irrigation\"><b><i>Ear Irrigation<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve softened the earwax blockage, simple home-performed ear irrigation can help to flush it out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t do this if you have an active infection in your ear canal. Ear irrigation also carries the risk of causing an ear infection or a perforated eardrum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Home_Remedies_if_Your_Clogged_Ears_Are_Due_to_Sickness_or_Allergies\"><b>Home Remedies if Your Clogged Ears Are Due to Sickness or Allergies\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Essential_Oils\"><b><i>Essential Oils<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your clogged ears are due to sickness or allergies, mineral and essential oils might be helpful as they can have antibiotic, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil, and peppermint oil can all be inhaled as steam or placed near the nose so you can easily breathe in the vapors. Research how each oil should be used before trying this as they are still dangerous if used incorrectly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Warm_Compress\"><b><i>Warm Compress<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can try placing a warm compress over your ear or take a steamy shower to open up your nasal passages and drain your ears of mucus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Gargle_Salt_Water\"><b><i>Gargle Salt Water<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gargling salt water can also help to reduce mucus in your ears and nose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply add a little salt to some water and mix until dissolved. Gargle the mixture for a few seconds and then spit it out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"When_to_See_a_Doctor\"><b>When to See a Doctor<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite there being many excellent home remedies for clogged ears, you should be prepared to see a medical professional if things don&#8217;t get better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some causes such as sinus infections and middle ear infections can be treated with prescriptions, which will probably be quicker and more effective than trying home remedies for days on end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obviously, it\u2019s very difficult to tell what\u2019s causing your symptoms yourself, but noting your symptoms can help here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following symptoms indicate that you should see your doctor:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing loss<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ear pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dizziness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discharge<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fever<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blockage refusing to clear on its own<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blockage can\u2019t be unclogged<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These don&#8217;t necessarily mean that something serious is going on, but they do suggest you could benefit from a once over from your physician.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To learn more about hearing health, see our other <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveunion.com\/blogs\/the-olive-branch\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blog articles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><b>The information in this guide has been written using the following reliable sources:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/321547#natural-remedies-to-treat-allergies-and-infections\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/321547#natural-remedies-to-treat-allergies-and-infections<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/how-to-unclog-ears#when-to-see-a-doctor\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/how-to-unclog-ears#when-to-see-a-doctor<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/319421#safety\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/319421#safety<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhsinform.scot\/illnesses-and-conditions\/ears-nose-and-throat\/earwax-build-up\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.nhsinform.scot\/illnesses-and-conditions\/ears-nose-and-throat\/earwax-build-up<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having ear congestion can be a very unpleasant experience.
