Home Remedy for Stopped-up Ears?

Question: I am suffering from seasonal Sinus/Allergy issues, and the more I blow my nose or sniffle, the worse my hearing gets. It feels like there is a bubble in my head (no jokes, please) and I am not hearing to my full potential. I know that I'm talking louder than normal and I have to raise my t.v. volume louder than usual. I would love to read your advice on what I can do at home FIRST to fix this problem. thanks!

Answers:
i have always used a few drops of swimmers ear medicine or peroxide, which usually helps me. when i queried your request, i found a recipe with olive oil and lavender oil (see link in sources). but DO NOT put any liquid in your ear if you suspect a perforated eardrum. of course i must recommend visiting a doctor. good luck!

PUT A COUPLE OF DROPS OF 100% PURE OLIVE OIL IN YOUR SORE EAR... IF IT HAS MOISTURE OR WATER IN IT WILL FLOAT TO THE TOP... IT IS ALSO SOOTHING!!!
