Consult Now
blocked feeling in the ears with occasional ringing is commonly due to earwax or Eustachian tube dysfunction, often related to recent cold, allergy, or sinus congestion
Next Steps
ENT examination is advised to check for earwax and middle-ear pressure. Treatment depends on the finding and may include ear cleaning or medicines for nasal allergy
Health Tips
Avoid putting oil, drops, or objects into the ear on your own
