Steam
Clogged ears can be annoying, but they don’t have to be permanent. You can soon be on your way to better hearing with some steam. This is especially true for clogged ears caused by allergies or a sinus infection.
Steam helps to thin mucus, making it easier to drain from the sinuses. It also helps to reduce inflammation and opens the ear canal. To use steam as a home remedy for clogged ears, fill a pot with boiling water and place a towel over your head to trap the steam. Then, lean over the pot and inhale deeply for several minutes. You can also add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to the water for added benefit.
This home remedy is safe for most people and can be used as often, as needed. There are no side effects or complications from using steam to treat and manage clogged ears. However, if clogged ears and other related symptoms do not subside, it is best to seek the expertise of an ENT doctor or audiologist.
