Hello there ,
I can understand your concern ,
Do not let water to get in your ears .use cotton to cover your ears while you bathe .whenever you feel blocked ears ,chew some gum or take few sip of water with a closed mouth.
Consult a ENT specialist in person for further evaluation and management of this issue . As for your
thyroid problem you can consult a endocrinologist .
Best regards ,
Dr. Anil Kumar Jain
