My left ear has felt clogged for quite
some time. My primary doctor looked at it
and said it's clear. It still feels
clogged, pops when I yawn, burb, or
swallow sometimes - not all the time. Has
nothing to do with flying as I don't fly
anywhere.

No liquid other than taking a shower.

Like you I was once in your position
(that's how I discovered Ehealth). Have
you had then since young I had it when I
was in highschool about 16 (I think, sorry
can't remember exactly when)?
First water went in when I was showering,
what I did was instead of titting my head
to the side that the water went it I when
to 'cleaned' my ears with a cotton bud,
from what I know the hardend wax when in
and so the only thing that I heard was
'muffed sound' it went on for a couple of
days until I went to a doctor, she gave me
some ointment to put in to 'soften' my wax
but nothing changed until I went to a
doctor that 'pumped' some water to clear
my hardend wax I saw the wax came out but
I still told the doctor that I still can't
hear clearly he said that all the wax was
cleared.
My advise is to see an ENT specialist or
at least get a second opinion. Hope that
my longwinded story helps. - Hart74

I agree with Hart.
Sometimes it just takes one of those ENT
(East nose and throat) specialists to
pinpoint something. GPs don't always see
everything: they don't have all the
answers.
