Yes, not only your hearing but your balance. You are right about it creating ear blockage.
ALso can cause sore throat, stuffy nose, or dry nose (which is worse), and swollen throat, develop into ear infection as well.
The ears, nose, and throat are all related to each other. The ENT doctor is called otorhinolaryngologist, meaning, oto=ear, rhino= nose, larynx=throat.
Hope this helped.

i believe its all connected to each other, like ears,eyes,nose,nasel if you have bloked ears maybe try going to the doctors for a syringe cleaning, youll feel superb after theyve done it for you.good luck
