Have someone look.: There are many causes for plugging your ears and the treatments are very different. Cerumen impaction (ear wax) requires someone to clean out the ears. Otitis externa is an outer ear infection that needs ear drops. Otitis media is fluid behind the eardrum and may need antibiotics or drainage. Sometimes the ear exam is normal and the plugged sensation is from a sudden hearing loss.
