I'm 45 years old , after taken a flight o/s 3 years ago my ear stayed blocked in the same way it gets bloked in the plane. Even if I block my nose and blow it opens for seconds only .as soon as I swallow it goes back and block . I have no paine ,but its very anoying and frustrating . If I press with my thumb on the outside of my ear I get a short releaf againe until I swallow . I have been to too many Drs non of them could help me ,I hope you can . Thank u

At first glance, it seems like wax build up. I have this problem once in a while, in fact, my left ear is due or a cleaning.

However that said, a doctor should be able to take care of that pretty simply. You said that you have been to several doctors and none can help. So it must be more than just wax.

Have you visited a specialist yet? If not, then that may be in order.

I feel like my left ear is blocked however I can listen to others... I feel my left protion of my head is numb which is very irritating..

You might want to have a doctor look at that, the blocked ear feeling doesn't sound to bad, but the numbing head could be something worth a closer look.
