Remedy for Clogged Ears

I've been plagued with clogged ears for several months now. It usually attacks during cold season.

I saw this exercise on the web that involves a neti pot (you can substitute a large syringe for this) and saline solution. There's a video demonstrating how to do the exercise, so that was really helpful. I've tried it and it has helped clear my head a bit.

You may want to check it out for yourself. View the site.

My symptoms are the following: I hear a low buzzing sound in my head (on rare occasions, it becomes high pitched). I feel like my head is full of fluid and my hearing is dulled. I can't hear myself talk.

I'll keep this updated to report improvements in my condition.

Updates: Using this exercise has helped clear my head. I've been doing it for 3 days now. I modified the recipe a bit -- I didn't put nasal drops. I use about three repetitions per session and I do it every morning.
