At times it legit sounds like I'm breathing through my ear! Anyone?

Have you tried swapping your ear and your nose?

Mr. Potato Head tells me it helps.

I'm thinking ear infection but I also don't think this is the right place to play doctor.

I think if the OP has their ears plugged like they have water in their ears when taking a shower, should get their ears checked.

Personally, I've only ever had this sort of issue twice:

First time:

- Visited England at 16, got sick, had my first ever migraines, was walking along a sidewalk crossing the street and this one migraine brought me to my knees in the middle of crossing the road

- Finished trip, got a plane back home being sick

- Ears might have popped going up

- Didn't pop going down

- While descending back to California my ears felt an enormous amount of pressure, excruciating pain for a good 5-10 mins, then an extremely loud and painful POP, loud ringing for a few hours.. semi-deaf for around 4 weeks, couldn't hear people talking but could hear the vibration of people's voices, could even hear my own breathing and heart beating, had that water-in-ears sound, doing PE in school was very nerve wracking

Second time:

- Have upper respiratory infection at around 27 or so

- Spreads to ears, get middle then inner ear infection, sort of spreads to throat too

- Ears get semi-clogged, feeling very sore inside, feels kinda like water is in there

- About a week later, vertigo, stand up, get dizzy, sit down, room spins, lie down/close eyes, spins faster

- Drives me nuts and makes me want to throw up

- Given super strong antibiotics

- Goes away after a few weeks but remnants of vertigo remains for a few years to where I'd get dizzy or get that sick feeling going on an elevator or roller coaster (never once got that feeling and I was a regular visitor to Six Flags/Great America thrill rides)
