I am an otherwise healthy 51 year old female with a problem I have had about 3-4 months.
My ears feel weird. The only way I can describe it is that they feel full. For example yesterday I was in a loud restaurant and my hearing was really bad. On the phone I have trouble hearing too.
The doctor looked in my ears and could not see a problem, put me on Claritan-D and said maybe the tubes that he cannot see are full of fluid or something. I think he said I could see a specialist to see if that was the case.
I don't know how I could have developed this and it is probably something simple to remedy.
A friend of mine told me she has not had a cold for years because she does not blow her nose, so I have not been blowing my nose if I have the sniffles but now I am questioning that and wondering if blowing my nose would help?
any suggestions? thank you so much!
