You need to clear the eustachian tube. It swells and keeps mucus inside which causes pain, loss of hearing, a swishing sound, ringing, and general discomfort. I have discovered my own home remedy to clear this up. The general idea is to use a nasal irrigator (neti pot) to wash your sinuses, but you need to add nasal spray to the saline wash and also tip your head around to get it into your eustachian tubes to reduce the swelling there and let the mucus drain. You can also try Nasacourt, a RX spray, that has steroid for inflammation, and follow these instructions from an ENT Doctor on how to get it to your eustachian tube: That may work, but if it does not, try a deep irrigation method. See the "Related Links" below. This will clear almost any clogged ear, inner ear blockage, ear swelling, ear pain, inner ear swishing, hearing loss, etc due to eustachian tube swelling and clogging which ismost often causes by sinus allergy flare ups and also ear infections.

Why do people go partially deaf when they have cold?
Sometimes, more so in some people than others, a cold will result in swollen Eustachian tubes along with the typical swollen sore throat and swollen sinuses and nasal congestion. If you blow your nose with force when congested, especially if you hold one nostril closed as you blow, sometimes the nasal drainage is forced into the Eustachian tubes from the nasopharynx. These tubes connect the nasopharynx to the middle ear (also known as pharyngotympanic tubes). When these swell, they can allow fluids, that would normally drain from the ear and tubes, to accumulate and not drain. This can muffle sounds due to the retained fluid behind the ear drum and in the middle ear. This accumulation of fluids can allow bacteria to grow and cause ear infections, as well.
