The ear always feels blocked, the specific cause may be related to cerumen blockage, secretory otitis media, neurological hearing loss and other factors, need to be combined with relevant examination to further clarify, targeted treatment.
1. Cerumen blockage: If the ear canal is waterlogged or the cerumen secretion is more vigorous, it may cause ear canal cerumen blockage. When the cerumen is blocked on the surface of the eardrum or blocked in the external ear canal, it will cause the ear to feel blocked. It is recommended to go to the hospital and clean the cerumen under the otoscope in order to relieve the symptoms.
2. Secretory otitis media: a non-purulent inflammatory disease of the middle ear characterized by conductive deafness and tympanic effusion due to the dysfunction of the eustachian tube, local infection of the middle ear, metaplasia and negative pressure damage. The manifestations are hearing loss, earache, tinnitus, and a feeling of ear stuffiness. Consciousness of the ear is always blocked feeling.
3. Neural hearing loss: For mild low-frequency or high-frequency neurological hearing loss, patients subjectively feel that the hearing loss is not obvious, and the symptoms of ear stuffiness, ear blockage and tinnitus may be the main symptoms.
If the ears always feel blocked, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to improve the relevant examination to clarify the cause of targeted treatment.
