Yeah, lucky! I did start getting a bit scared the ears wouldn't ever clear, or pop from the pressure, but in the end I learned my lesson: take it easy, rest; let it blow over without blowing my nose too much. :P

Indeed that's the way it's done :D Take it easy, rest and just wait to make a full recovery XD Good advice :D

Hope the left ear clears OK. I had a bad cold/flu (always confuse those too) last summer and both ears were pretty much blocked for almost a full month. No fun. :/

Cheers man. It's much better than it was last week, though it still makes squeaky noises when I blow my nose and I have to keep poking it until it sounds right. Not sure whether it was a cold or hayfever or something (either way not good and no fun DX), but hopefully I'll be all better by next week, or at least better to a point where I can work effectively again :D I'm kinda lucky that it only ever seems to be my left ear. Having both ears blocked sounds horrible DX
