What should I do if I can’t hear clearly or feel like there’s something blocked in my ears?

"Some time ago, due to the unpredictable weather, I was always cold and hot, and I kept having a cold. I had to treat it on and off for more than a month. Last week, I started to find that my ears could not hear clearly, and it felt like there was something blocked inside. It’s very uncomfortable. May I ask the experts what is causing this and what should I do?” - Ms. Fang from Wuhan, Hubei, online consultation Wuhan Ren’an Hospital answered: Inability to hear in the ears and a sense of blockage are considered to be otitis media caused by a cold. It is recommended to go to the ear and nose as soon as possible. Laryngology examination and treatment. There is a thin tube in the middle ear cavity that leads to the nasopharynx, medically called the Eustachian tube. Under normal conditions, there is air in the middle ear. On the one hand, this air is continuously absorbed by the mucous membrane in the middle ear. On the other hand, new air is input through the Eustachian tube to equalize the pressure between the middle ear cavity and the outside world. Therefore, it can Maintains tympanic membrane vibration to ensure normal hearing function. When you have a cold, air cannot enter the middle ear through the Eustachian tube, causing otitis media. What is the best treatment for otitis media? "Ear microscopy technology + CZT-8F audio frequency vibrator system" completely treats otitis media. Wuhan Ren'an Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital uses ear microscopy technology combined with CZT-8F audio frequency vibrator system. The treatment of otitis media has won the trust of the majority of patients because of its good therapeutic effect. CZT--8F audio frequency vibration system is the world's first computer-modulated intermediate frequency and computer ultrasound dual-function simultaneous physical therapy equipment, and has won a national invention patent. 1. (Otoendoscopy) Imported otoendoscopes are used to carefully examine ear lesions. One of the keys to ensuring surgical safety is to fully expose the surgical field of view. 2. (High treatment accuracy) Using ear microscopy technology to locate lesions deep and hidden in the ear can effectively reduce the difficulty and risk of treatment and improve treatment accuracy. 3. (Pure physical therapy is safe and efficient) The fully computer-controlled ultrasound and the three-dimensional superposition vibration therapy mechanism formed by medium and low frequency bioelectromagnetic waves are a combination of sound, frequency, heat, electricity, magnetism, micro massage and other natural physics. The factors are synchronously superimposed and penetrated into the lesion, forming a three-dimensional effect of audio frequency vibration and physical and chemical superposition. Combining various therapeutic factors such as drug penetration, music therapy, and acupoint guidance, it can speed up blood circulation, eliminate inflammation, improve hearing, and achieve the purpose of curing otitis media and otitis externa. Warm reminder: In the late stage of a cold, if symptoms such as thick nose, headache, earache, etc. appear, you should go to an otolaryngology department in time. There is also a danger of blowing your nose too hard when you have a cold and a lot of runny nose. It can bring viruses and bacteria into the ears through the Eustachian tube, causing middle ear infection. Everyone should pay more attention.
