My ears are plugged.
Not a little, not one yet the other is clear, both, both are plugged. It started yesterday. When I woke up, only one ear was stuffed, and the other was fine. Over the course of the day, both plugged up and then got entrenched that way. I had hoped that I could sleep off, if not both, then one to clear up.
NOPE.
Having my ears stuffed up often happens when I have a cold. I have a day or two of it, then it starts to clear through a series of gentle fizzy pops (like a sink full of dissipating bubbles but dry). This time, I have had no joy, and the problem seems to be compounding instead of alleviating.
I am not in any pain, it's more discomfort. My hearing is no bueno and that's the most frustrating part. Everything is muffled, like I'm wearing noise-cancelling headphones (the big ones that cover the entire ear) or underwater. Some pitches are painful, especially if sustained (like they are in music). I have the sneaking suspicion that if I put on my own pair of noise-cancelling headphones, I would hear nothing. That might be worth exploring at some point today. Or not; with only partial hearing, I feel isolated enough as it is.
