A member asked:

Left ear clogged often upon waking and spontaneously; only exercise will restore it reliably. any possible long-term solution?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ear: Maybe wax or eustachian tube issues. Go see and ENT. If its wax, its quick fix. If not you'll need a hearing test to see if the tube is the problem Lots of treatments for that.
