If you often have clogged ears and none of the methods above help, you should probably see a doctor.

Remember that certain health issues can cause clogged ears:

Earwax buildup
Sinusitis, or inflammation of the lining of the sinuses
Allergies
Flu or cold
Bacterial or viral sinus infections
Meniere’s disease, which occurs when fluids build up in the labyrinth of the inner ear
Structural anomalies
Acoustic neuroma — a benign tumor on the vestibulocochlear nerve
Cholesteatoma — a benign skin growth that develops in the middle ear
Serous otitis media — an infection of the cavity behind the eardrum
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems, which can occur as a result of abnormal jaw alignment, injury, or teeth grinding
