A member asked:

I am getting over my sinus infection, but my hearing is a bit unbalanced due to blowing my nose so often and it popping. do i need to see a doctor or will it be balanced out in a few days?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

IT WILL BALANCE OUT: It is not unusual to experience to have effect on hearing due to congestion and often blockage of Eustacian Tube You can use over the counter Sudafed as a decongestant and if does not help see your doctor
