My ear feels really clogged up. It feels like there's a cloud between me and the sound when someone talks to me. It doesn't hurt so i don't think it's an ear infection. Does anyone have any idea what it could be and how i might fix it?

It might just be a wax buildup in your ear. Before going to the doctor go to the drugstore and look for an ear cleaning kit. I think Murine makes one. It comes with a rubber squeeze thingy for water and some drops to help break up the wax. Follow the directions to the letter.
If that doesn't work, then you need to go to the doctor.

I do this all the time and let me tell you it saves me lots of trips to the doctor for swimmer's ear. I take a syringe, you know the kind you get in the ear cleaning kits. I fill my sink with lukewarm water and turn my head with the ear I am trying to clean towards the drain. I keep dunking the syringe in the water and shooting the warm water in my ear. I do this over and over (probably 10-15 times) quickly until the wax pops out. I always get a nice chunk and it totally grosses my family out but it works! You'll feel great after. Do it every 6 weeks or so.

A visit to a Doctor for some ear drops; you have a middle ear infection.

Have you been swimming lately? or could water have gotten in your ear while showering? If so, it may be water. Pour a small amount of hydrogen peroxide in your ear, let it sit for a few minutes, then flip over and let it drain out. If that doesn't work, it may be a buildup in your ear or wax. It happened to me once, go to your general practitioner and they'll check it out and use a special "thing" that will remove it. No pain, no discomfort, just a really funny tickling sensation. Good Luck!

You should put a bit of alcohal in the ear thats clogged up and just leave it there for about 30 seconds then turn your head and the alcohal should take all the water out

Go to the drug store and get the EAR drops and squeeze syringe and follow the instructions - it works quite well...
