Ear fullness can have other causes including: 1  Acoustic neuroma (benign tumor of the nerve connecting the inner ear to the brain)  Barotrauma (effects caused by sudden or extreme changes in air pressure)
Individuals with tinnitus may also experience intermittent feelings of fullness in one or both ears. This typically occurs in one ear at a time. The sensation of fullness may be accompanied by a fluctuating hearing loss and increased tinnitus. An audiogram shows the fluctuating hearing loss to be sensorineural--involving the inner ear or auditory nerve.
