A member asked:
My right ear feels stuffy and there is a very very slight ringing (when one is alone in a quiet room) and it only goes away after i take a shower?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear stuffy: This is likely Eustachian tube dysfunction. Congestion plugs the tube, or it is naturally narrow, and opening it or "popping" the ears may make it go away. Practice gently popping your ears through the day and it might go away. Get it checked if it gets worse.
