When ever its hot an humid outside or if i get hot an sweaty my ears clog up an when i talk it sounds funny an it will last hour or so. why?

Interesting symptom: Ears can clog (can't relieve pressure) when the opening to the eustachian tube on each side of the back of the throat is not working well. The opening allows air pressure to get in or out of the middle ear. There are also 2 tiny muscles in the middle ear that damp the sound vibrations against the eardrum. If the tiny muscles are damping the sound, the ear will feel clogged. An ENT dr can evaluate.
