My ears feel blocked from the inside. What is the best way for me to clear them?
Ears can be blocked in a number of different ways. The external ear canal can be blocked with earwax or a small foreign object. Earwax is normal in the ear canal but sometimes accumulates and completely blocks the canal. Foreign objects should never be put into the ear canal. These types of blocks can cause hearing difficulty and discomfort, and must be removed. Q-tips should never be used to remove earwax from your ear canal. Another type of blockage in the ear can occur in the middle ear, which is most often caused by an ear infection and fluid. In both cases it is important to see your doctor who will diagnose the problem and prescribe the correct treatment. Thank you for your question, and good luck. Sincerely, Ms. Ears.
