My ears have been clogged for about 3 weeks now, maybe even more and I just can't get them to pop. My left ear is worse than my right. I've tried nearly everything; blowing my nose, allergy/cold medicine, heating pad, chewing gum, tea, saline solution...I just don't know what else to do. It's getting to the point where my hearing is impaired, and I'm just beyond annoyed by it. Another thing I forgot to mention is that when I chew, I hear a squeaky noise coming from my left ear, and it feels like air going through it. I'd like to avoid going to the doctor, unless 100% necessary. PLEASE HELP!

Ear-wax build-up is the last thing people think about when they have hearing problems. Ear drops to lessen wax build-up in the ears usually contain Hydrogen Peroxide that makes a bubbling sound when applied. If you suspect you have ear-wax problems, you can first try ear drops to weaken the ear wax so it can wash-out of your ears. The procedure should be repeated to determine whether you can remove the wax. If you have problems with your sinuses, the pressure on your eardrums can be uneven until you can equalize the pressure. A cold or allergy can congest the sinuses causing hearing problems. You should be prepared for agony if you board an airplane. I learned when I was congested, I would use a nasal spray just before take-off to clear my sinuses before the airplane-cabin was pressurized. The squeaky noise you hear could be intermittent sound waves because of uneven distribution of air flow in your ears.
