A member asked:
I have had mild tinnitus for a while, but recently my right ear became muffled then cleared up a few seconds later. i'm curious as to why that happene?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eustachian tube: Dysfunction. The tube leads from your throat to the middle ear and equalizes pressure in the middle ear. If the tiny tube becomes swollen symptoms you describe can occur. Decongestants or nasal steroids can help. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
