A member asked:
How is it that my ears remain blocked for some long periods and open some times?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibilities: You either have wax that opens up occasionally, or poor eustachian tube dysfunction that makes your ear feel blocked until it transiently opens up due to pressure changes or something similar to it.
