Aeroplane Ear
I had travelled on 5th of this month. Since then there has been a sensation of air bubble traped in my left ear. I can feel the pressure changes and because of that I think my hearing ability is also effected.
I had gone through various test regarding ear drums and they are all normal.
Please suggest its remedies and its criticality.
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Sunil

High altitude pressure changes can cause significant change in Normal hearing apparatus. In case of flight travel it causes eustachian tube block and might even cause collection of fluid in middle ear. Usually this condition is resolves spontaneously within couple of weeks. If not consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Meanwhile you can do valsalva maneuver for faster recovery
