Title: Ears Plugged Post by: Scott on August 05, 2009, 08:20:25 pm I tried to look this up on the blog, but it didn't have any "finds". Perhaps user error on my part.
My issue is that my ears get plugged when I run. I sweat alot, so assume it has something to do with that. It's worse when I wear headphones (ear buds), but it does even happen when I don't. The ears get totally plugged and it's like I have a severe head cold (not actually, but the symptom of the plugged ears). It normally lasts for a couple of hours, but longer if I go on a long run. It really sucks to go somewhere afterward, as I can't hear myself talk (it's an echo in my head). Any ideas? Suggestions? Does anyone else have this "issue"? Thanks for any input you may have!
