A member asked:

Can very tight, tense neck muscles sometimes cause a feeling of fullness in the ears? if so, why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Multiple factors:: stress, tension, anxiety, muscular stain, cervical disc issues are certainly possibilities. You should be examined and have x-rays and possibly an CT or MRI of your cervical spine, depending on exam results.
