👂 Did you know your ears, nose, sinuses and throat are all connected?
I have lots of questions from clients about how their nose and throat feels when their ears are blocked, which prompted me to share this little bit of ear-health education.
The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear with the back of the nose and throat and plays an important role in equalising pressure and allowing fluid to drain.
That means things such as colds, congestion, allergies and sinus problems can sometimes affect how our ears feel.
You may notice:
👂 A feeling of fullness or pressure
👂 Muffled hearing
👂 Popping or crackling
👂 A sensation that your ear is blocked
The important thing is that these symptoms can have different causes.
That’s why having your ears looked at properly is so useful. An examination can check for ear wax and also help identify when your symptoms may need a different approach or further assessment.
Your ears can tell us more than you might think! 👂🔎
