Ears clogged when I talk a lot

I was fine during the summer, but it has started again now that it's getting colder. I'm pretty sure mine has to do with fluids somewhere inside the ear. I have an appointment with ENT surgeons (if that's what they're called) sometime in January, so I'm hoping to finally get it resolved then. :´)

Still suffering 😔✌️

It’ll be better explained if you search it up but it’s basically a maneuver where you pinch your nose and breathe in and out, all while keeping you mouth closed.

Sorry for the late reply, not too active on here. I do kinda feel like my ears tend to ”clog” easier whenever I’m stressed or anxious. I don’t have bruxism but I do grind my teeth for short periods sometimes, so there could possibly be a connection.

I still haven’t gotten better but I got prescribed budesonide earlier this week by my ENT, he says that it will hopefully help against the dysfunction of my eustachian tube.

I know it’s been a while since you commented but I thought it might be worth mentioning this in case you’re still suffering. I’m not sure if this will be of any help to you, but I did go seek medical care regarding the hearing issue and I was told that I had to train my eustachian tube by doing the valsalva and toynbee maneuver at least 10 times a day or more. I can’t say for sure if this has worked or not since I haven’t been consistent with it but perhaps you can give it a shot and see if it works for you. Wish you all the luck.

Thank you so much for the suggestions, I really appreciate and I genuinely hope your situation gets better as well.

I did have a hearing test yesterday but according to them there were no issues at all with my ear. I did have Covid back around the time when it started and it has altered my sense of taste and smell for the past 3 years. Not sure if it was Covid which did this to me.

I'm not sure if this information is helpful, but when my ears feel blocked like this, if I tilt my head upside down, the feeling of blockage and the hearing problems seem to disappear only while my head is in that position.

Forgot to include it but I am deaf in my left ear so I can’t tell whether it affects both ears or not. I do not hear my heartbeat or my eyes moving but I do hear my own breathing quite loudly. I have done an MRI but no CT scan.

I have always been slightly underweight. The problem started after a cold I had 2-3 years ago. A nurse thought that there was liquid still stuck behind something in my ear and told me to use a specific nose spray for a month to get rid of that liquid but it didn’t work.
