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!
