Clogged ears and how to hear clearly again

by Anthony Tsang 25 Nov 2023 0 Comments

Have you ever had that annoying experience where suddenly one of your ears seems to be clogged, making sounds muffled and dull? A clogged ear can be a frustrating and sometimes even worrisome experience. But don't worry, we have all the information you need to address this issue. Let's dive into the world of clogged ears and discover how to regain clear hearing.

 

How a clogged ear feels

A clogged ear can manifest as a sensation of pressure, fullness, or even temporary hearing loss. Imagine walking through a tunnel, and suddenly ambient noise is muted. This is often how a clogged ear feels. You may notice that your own voice sounds different, and at times, it may seem like everything around you is muted. But what causes this annoying sensation?

 

The function of earwax

Earwax, or cerumen, is not an unwelcome guest in your ear; it serves a crucial function. It protects your ear canal from dust, bacteria, and other harmful elements. However, sometimes earwax can accumulate and lead to a blocked ear.

 

How a clogged ear develops

  • Overproduction of earwax: Sometimes the body produces more earwax than necessary, leading to accumulation and blocking of the ear canal.
  • Improper cleaning: Using cotton swabs can push earwax deeper, resulting in blockages.
  • Allergies and colds: Allergies and colds can cause swelling and a blocked feeling in the ears.

 

What to do if you experience a clogged ear

The first and most important thing to do is to contact your general practitioner or a medical assistant. They are trained to identify the cause of the blocked ear and can determine whether it is due to an earwax blockage or if there might be other issues, such as a perforated eardrum or ear tubes.

  • Avoid poking with cotton swabs: Refrain from using cotton swabs, as they often exacerbate the problem.
  • Olive oil or special ear drops: These can help soften earwax and promote natural drainage.

 

Preventing a clogged ear

  • Regular ear cleaning: Have your ears regularly checked and cleaned by a professional.
  • Avoid cotton swabs: Do not use cotton swabs to go deep into your ear.

What to do next for a clogged ear

If you find that your ears are frequently getting clogged, it might be time for a more effective approach. Consider the HAIDU Ear Wax Removal Kit, designed to safely and effectively remove earwax. However, before proceeding, always consult a doctor for professional advice.
