Glue Ear is when fluid gets caught behind the eardrum. There is a tube known as the Eustachian Tube, which connects your ear to your throat. When you swallow, you will often getting a popping sound in your ear. The Eustachian tube helps to keep air pressure level in the middle ear. If it gets blocked, often due to an ear infection or a cold, one result is a build up of fluid in the inner ear. This can take time, days or even weeks, to fully clear out. In the meantime, you will get the feeling of your ear having liquid in it and your hearing being slightly dulled. Putting your finger or something else into the ear in an effort to clear it is of no benefit, because it is on the other side of the eardrum, not the place where ear wax accumulates, so you can't get to it. It is common in small children, but adults can get it too.
