Inner ear problem?

Asked by tranquilsea (17775points) April 12th, 2010

About ten years ago we moved from sea level to 3438ft above sea level. Soon after we moved I started having ear problems in only my left ear. I would hear a pop in that ear and then any time I would speak it sounded like I was shouting in that ear, but I could hear other people just fine. After a few hours my hearing would return to normal. It happens sporadically but it is very annoying when it does happen.

I’ve always been able to clear my ears if they are under pressure from an altitude change, no need to chew gum or anything as it seems like I can move a muscle in my inner ear that takes care of it.

Does anyone have any idea what this may be?
