Stuffy nose is the worst, you try to get it unclogged and literally nothing works. No neti pot or vicks, you wipe your nose with a tissue and it turns into you scraping your nose and it burns. You cannot sleep properly.
Ear problem easy to get rid of with cotton balls and sweet oil. Sleep on it and your ear is all good.
Lol yeah no, I can usually clear a stuffy nose standing over a steam pot with a Vicks and water combo. My ear does not unclog unless i pour peroxide into it
ear is worse especially when you have very good hearing and used to that. also with it being that way until it gets cleared out, it has this very werid sensation to me and your cheek and jaw when you barely touch it, you can hear it.
with your nose, like from crying so much after tons of it running out like a faucet, doesn't last long stuffed up, and to me has no weird or even have pain from it being stuffed up.
Yeahhh it's crazy
I have a solution for both. If you have a clogged ear then put your fingers on your nose and pinch them until it's closed then exhale as hard as you can through your nose that's how you pop your ears. A stuffy nose can be fixed by looking up and holding your breath. I'd say clogged ear because you don't want to know what freezing water feels like trapped inside of your ear.
Right. I know how to pop my ears, but when they are clogged, it's like blocked.
Clogged ear just might be an inner ear infection, try slightly diluted hydrogen peroxide, first try putting it on your hand first then squirt it from a needless syringe into the ear. And go to the doctors to get it flushed a day or two later, the hydrogen peroxide will break up any junk in your inner ear, and if it’s bad, you might need antibiotics.
Yeah, i did the peroxide flush and its better now
Good work, feels great too, right
It does now.

A stuffy nose, because it gives me a hard time falling asleep as I am used to only breathing through the nose and cleaning usually do not last that long if having a cold. But I also don't have severe clogged ears. Mostly it is just from water like after a shower, and that disappears ok quickly.
Yeah I find stuffy noses most annoying at night.
I've woken up to a bad clogged ear before and it took forever to clear.
Could be you have Eustachian Tube Dysfunction.
The nose and ears actually have a tube between them. This can get congested or infected or worse. Go see a doctor if you're having repeat problems.
Thanks
Clogged ear by far. I can have a stuffed nose and just be miserable for a bit. A clogged ear i can't seem to leave alone and I want to fix it and then eventually get vertigo.
Omg yes. It's like I can deal with a stuffy nose because I know eventually it'll clear. Clogged ears tho? They don't really clear on their own.
Stuffy nose because that causes problems with breathing, which is REALLY annoying.
True
I can tolerate a clogged ear, a stuffy nose on the other hand makes me want to rip it out with my bare hand.
Lol at night when I need to sleep and breathe, for sure
I don't mind a stuffed nose, but if anything happens to my ears... I become a big whiny baby.
Lmao exxxactly
Like ear infection or water in the ear I find worse than a stuffy nose as I get bad headaches from my ears
Same
Ear. You can flush your sinus with a neti pot. You have to wait out ears
I flushed my ear with peroxide and it cleared up after about an hour or so
Got both right now... would rather get rid of the clogged ears
I hope you feel better soon
Thank you
I've been dealing with a clogged ear for about a few weeks now. It's horrible, so I'm voting for that.
A few weeks! Yeah i would've cut my ear off for sure lol
I get that all the time. I can't tell if I have an earache, a headache or a toothache.
Yeah it automatically made my head hurt.
Ear, no question. Nose, you can deal with to a degree. Ear, you mess with that and it'll just get worse.
Tell me about it. I tried clearing my ear out and i think i just pushed the stuff further in. Wasn't until I did a peroxide solution cleanse that it finally cleared.
Oh i've been there. It took me two times this time because the first time it just got even more clogged. The second time I let it sit longer. But then there's the whole hearing the peroxide bubbling thing that is basically torture in itself.
Yeah ouchhh
You didn't give a third option. C: Both. Yeah, I live with both daily.
Ah that would be the worst
Oh God, reading this made me open my jaw and pop my ears haha, I can't stand not breathing and that dry mouth and raspy throat waking up in the AM.
Lol yeah the dry mouth thong is probably worse than the stuffy nose
A clogged ear is harder to treat than a stuffy nose.
Indeed
Stuffy nose, because it feels like you're suffocating
Stuffy nose. I'm ok with flushing my ear out, but I don't think I can ever use a neti pot.
Clogged ear. My girlfriend just recently hurt herself from a lack of balance from a clogged ear. I saw a stuffy nose throw off someone's balance.
I think science says hearing is better for agility, smelling is better for memory. So walking would be a priority for me.
Clogged ear, because I've my fair share of clogged noses and I use to that.
