That blocked, muffled feeling in your ears can be frustrating — especially when you’re trying to follow a conversation.
During allergy season, nasal congestion can sometimes affect the Eustachian tubes, which help regulate pressure in the middle ear. When they aren’t working normally, some people may notice ear pressure, fullness or changes in how sounds seem.
These symptoms can have different causes, so it’s worth paying attention if they persist or affect your everyday communication.
If your ears have been feeling blocked or your hearing seems different this spring, consider speaking with your GP or a qualified hearing professional about whether further assessment may be appropriate.
