Constant fullness and pressure in both ears

Does the pressure and hearing fluctuate? Do you travel by airplane or scuba dive? Any balance issues or dizziness ? It could be a number of things, but cochlear hydrops comes to mind. I would start with an Otolaryngologist and see about getting a CT Scan that has the capabilities to do thin slicing with photon counting. There is a Facebook group for cochlear endolymphatic hydrops (Not Meniere’s) you could check out. A lot is people with similar symptoms. I’ve had some myself that was secondary to a penetrating ear injury. Also you can try to limit your sodium and caffeine intake to see if that makes any difference. Best of Luck!

@tmragain , appreciate your reply. I haven't been on a plane, and I don't actually get dizzy or experience vertigo.
I'm careful about my balance, especially if I have to use a ladder or step stool...then I feel like I'm very off.
I have had this pressure many times in past, especially if I'm sick...but this time I'm not sick and it has been going on for several months now. I dont take much caffeine. I do enjoy red wine, but it hasn't ever caused this before. I never heard of the hydrops, so I looked it up...sure could be my case. Ill call a Dr soon. Thank you so much!
