Hello, Before I explain one point needs clarification on whether he feels blocked in ears? Anyways the humming sound can be due to use of headphones and also if he has a block of eustacian tube(the tube conneting ear and nose). The solution is firstly ask him to use laptop speaker and for tube block see tips below. If its still persisting see doctor locally for doing some ear tests
Next Steps
If symptoms persists consult ENT specialist locally

The condition what he is suffering is called Tinnitus.
It can be due to Middle ear infection, External ear impacted wax, Eustachian tube blockage due to cold, Nerve weakness or damage due to excessive exposure to loud noise for long duration or very rarely due to blood vessels related.
There's no home remedy for it.
Don't perform Valsalva maneuver, it can increase the problem if patient has infection in the ear.
Consult a ENT specialist for better understanding and treatment.
Next Steps
consult ENT specialist
