It’s been a week since your flight, and your ear still feels clogged. 🛫👂

That blocked, muffled, “underwater” feeling after a flight is usually from trouble equalizing pressure in your middle ear. Most people clear it within a few hours or days. But when it lasts a full week, it’s worth paying attention. Has this happened to you

Rapid pressure changes during takeoff and landing can trap air in the middle ear, especially if you had congestion from a cold or allergies. This can lead to barotrauma (sometimes called “airplane ear”).

Have you ever had an ear last longer than a week after flying? What fixed it? Most people clear it within a few hours or days

A few days = common. One full week = time to check in with a doctor.
