Hello Birdman, Allergies will cause fullness and pressure in ears.Do you your ears pop and crack also? If so,That alone can drive you nuts.I also had a stapledectomy done 6 months ago due to otosclerosis which doesn't help much but i can defenitely hear better.I'm severly allergic to mold,dust and grass. Take care

Texan,

Have you read Cora's post on otosclerosis? Have you had any follow-up treatment of sodium fluoride by any chance???

Birdman,

Try some decongestants like Sudafed (over the counter) and see if it reduces the stuffed ears. Frequent hot tea with lemon, and broths...any moist heat will help: long steamy showers, steam room etc.
