How long does it take for blocked ears to naturally clear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies in duration: Blocked ears are due to eustachian tubes which can change its diameter in response to pressure changes in the atmosphere. That is why we get uncomfortable feeling when we travel in an aircraft. Many patients with sensitivity to atmospheric pressure changes get the feeling of popping ears. There is nothing to worry about. It takes from minutes to hours to get a relief. Decongestants may help.
