What’s that stuffy, blocked feeling in my right ear?



A stuffy and clogged feeling in the right ear may be caused by air pressure imbalance due to secretory otitis media, auditory neurogenic insufficiency and cerumen clogging.

1. Secretory otitis media: secretory otitis media is a non-purulent inflammatory disease of the middle ear, which can cause the air pressure in the ear to be lower than that of the outside world or the presence of fluid in the middle ear, resulting in a stuffy, blocked feeling in the ear.

2. Auditory nerve insufficiency: Auditory nerve insufficiency is mainly caused by incomplete transmission of information and signal transmission disorder when the external sound source enters the cranium through the conduction of the auditory nerve, which causes the brain to have a wrong impression, and a stuffy, blocked feeling in the ear occurs.

3. Staining cerumen blockage: when there is a lot of staining cerumen in the external auditory canal which is not cleared in time and caused by blockage, it will lead to the blockage of the transmission of external sound into the middle ear, and a stuffy, blocked feeling will appear in the ear.

There are other reasons for the stuffy and blocked feeling in the right ear, please go to the hospital in time and get treatment under the guidance of professional doctors.
