But the sensation of a blocked ear can also occur due to impacted earwax or even be an early sign of hearing loss.

Can Earwax Cause Problems?
How Do You Open a Blocked Ear?
Normally, earwax washes out in the shower on its own or gets pushed out of the ear. But impacted earwax can block the ear canal and cause infections. Ear drops are a safe way to remove earwax. Whatever you do, don’t use a cotton swab to remove earwax. Even though it feels pretty good, you can actually press wax further in the ear and cause more problems.
Even congestion often clears within a few days.
However, early sudden hearing loss can also feel like your ear is blocked by earwax. So if you have a feeling that your ear is clogged or blocked, and it just won’t go away, you should give us a call.
If you’re experiencing hearing loss, even mild hearing loss, you should call us to Schedule Online for a hearing aid discovery test and visual inspection of your ear canal – it might just be wax.
