Types of Blocked Ears

1. Earwax Blockage – A common cause where excess wax accumulates and hardens, blocking sound transmission.

2. Eustachian Tube Dysfunction – When the tube connecting the middle ear to the throat becomes clogged, leading to pressure buildup.

3. Middle Ear Infections – Fluid buildup behind the eardrum can cause a feeling of fullness.

4. Foreign Object Blockage – Objects like cotton swab tips or hearing aid domes can obstruct the ear canal.

 

Symptoms of Blocked Ears

• Muffled or reduced hearing

• Sensation of pressure or fullness

• Ear discomfort or mild pain

• Occasional ringing or buzzing sounds

• Dizziness or balance disturbances

 

Causes of Blocked Ears

• Excessive earwax production

• Improper ear cleaning (e.g., using cotton swabs)

• Sinus congestion or allergies

• Frequent use of earplugs or hearing aids

• Exposure to water (swimmer’s ear)

 

How Earwax May Cause This

Earwax naturally helps protect the ear, but excessive buildup can become impacted, leading to blocked ears. Using cotton swabs or inserting objects into the ear can push the wax deeper, making it harder to remove. Over time, this can result in complete blockage, affecting hearing and causing discomfort.
