We have all experienced the feeling of having “full” ears at some point. This sensation can feel like ears getting clogged on a flight, or water getting stuck from a shower or swimming. The worst part about it is the helpless feeling of discomfort.
Springtime is nearly here. The weather is warmer, plants are blooming, and winter coats (for animals and humans alike) are being shed until next year.

Our faces are full of individual parts that make a whole, and, much like a puzzle, they are all connected to each other in one way or another.
Ear, nose, and throat problems can occur when a person is experiencing a cold or allergies, and it is not uncommon to experience problems in more than one of the three areas, as they are all interconnected. Many people often blame these symptoms on allergies or a cold, or simply feeling “under the weather,” however,…
For most of us, a cough seems to be associated with having a cold or irritation in the throat. It’s what we have been taught our whole lives; but what if a cough was the result of something other than just a cold? It may be hard to determine but coughing may be the outcome…
Everyone has experienced a headache in their life. Some from dehydration, others from stress, some even just have chronic headaches.

Yes, there can…
You groggily rollover out of a disruptive sleep and look at the clock. It is 4:00 am. Too early to get up for the day, but too late to get back into a deep sleep. All you can think about at this exact moment is getting an ice-cold cup of water. The feeling of being…
Allergy season seems to come around every season. “Something in the air” is always to blame for feeling congested or under the weather. It can be pollen, a shift in the wind, or even fur from the cat. However, there is a possibility that it may not have anything to do with allergies at all.…
We’ve all been there – our ears feel like they are stuffed full of cotton. Pressure builds and builds until it feels like Mount Vesuvius ready to blow. Heaven forbid that the dog barks, as our head might just explode. Anatomy of the Ear To understand what’s happening, we have to peer into the anatomy…
The human ear is a marvel of natural engineering. Not only does it allow us to hear what is happening in the world around us, but it also enables us to stand, walk on two legs, and even juggle (well, for some of us). Ears never stop working; even when you are asleep, they are…
I Can’t Stop Clearing My Throat We all know the feeling of something being stuck in the throat and having to clear it out.

We have all seen those commercials that advertise “new and improved ways” to get a good night’s sleep and snore less. For some people, multiple tricks and gimmick products provide no relief. There is hope but it lies at the root cause of the snoring. What is Snoring? Snoring is the sound made by…

The telltale headache, sinus pressure, and runny nose which indicate a sinus infection can pop up with no warning.

A little-known link between chronic sinusitis and depression and anxiety is emerging. There have been several recent studies showing the link between sinus conditions and mental health disorders.
