Gah...plugged ears

Yes, I know we've had plugged ear threads before. Feel free to stop reading now...

Still here? OK then. My ears have been popping and plugging every day all day for the last week. It hurts but it is particularly annoying because I am a University lecturer, and the plugged ears make my voice sound really echo-y in my head. Plus the voice projection to reach the back of the classroom full of squeaky chairs... Talk about being sick of the sound of your own voice/voice echo...

Chewing gum, swallowing/gulping doesn't seem to help. So... Ouch!! And Boo Hiss!!

  • Have you tried holding you breathe and blowing your nose?  That seems to help me a lot.  Also, cleaning out my ears after I shower.  I know you aren't supposed to do it, but it makes such a difference for me.
