s/o ears (nbr)

Some mornings my ears wake up 'clogged'.  Like things are kind of fuzzy out of one or both ears.  Usually they "wake up" a little later in the day.. sometimes quickly sometimes not til much later.  Apparently, my mom has this problem too.  I've had them cleaned out at the doctor's office and I could certainly go and get this done... but if anyone has DIY solutions that work I'll take them.  Thanks.

    If it's water getting stuck in your ear (which is what could be the getting clogged/unclogged) put a dropper ful of rubbing alcohol in your ear... Hold it there for a few seconds then flip your head and drain the excess into a towel. It will dry the water out.

    Yup.  I feel your pain.  I am "clogged" 24/7.  Sometimes some ringing.  Look in a mirror up your nose.  the walls of your nose should be smooth all the way as far as you can see.  If you see bumps or appendages, you have polyps, which may cause ear issues.  That is what brought me to my pp.  It took me 3 years to admit I have hearing loss.  Now I need to fix it.  No DIY.  A doc is needed, and don't wait like I did.

    Lately my nose has been walls of crud.  sorry for the graphic picture.  I think my body has finally succumbed to seasonal allergies.  It's not helping my ears, but even blowing my nose doesn't help my ears all the time.  It also rings from time to time.  Thanks for the insight into my ears..  I need to get a referral to see an ENT and I'm marking your other post.

    Nose and ears are interconnected. I have been putting the surgery off for years because I hate the fact that they will pack my nose, and I will need Valium to get through it.  Then it is a crap shoot if the cleaning of my sinuses make me hear better than I do now.  Calling Dr. Pensak tomorrow.
