Ears are clogged - Eustachian tube?

Question

Asked for Male, 34 Years

Always ears are clogged and I have to force the air out of nostril for a normal breath. Feel nostrils are clogged with sticky elements always. I had to close the nostrils and breath out to get my ears to hear clearly.. Sometimes, when I catch cold, I feel a the ears are more open when do this nostril closed breathing out. FYI, right ear hearing is more affected as Far as I know because it is open clearly only when I have cold. Is this something Eustachian tube is affected or clogged by water or air? Kindly advise, suffering from this for a long time now.
