ok..so seems like posts here are pretty old..like 8 years, but heck..I'm open to trying anything. I have had a clogged ear since March. I have had prescriptions etc. no help. seems worse when I feel a cold coming on...like now. Glands always feel swollen and my head hurts most mornings. The pressure is insane sometimes. I read about an ear popper. Anyone know if this is helpful? Tubes are 5500! and no guarantee they help! So...at this point I have no options and once again need to play doctor myself and I am so not qualified! Any help would be hugely appreciated!
