How Can Plugged Ears Be Treated?

I had a pretty bad sore throat about a month ago, but my ears were plugged. It cleared up after a week, some coughing and sinus but not enough to take anything for it,. I did gargle with salt water, used a neti pot for the sinus, essential oil on my neck and around my ears. All symptoms are gone except my ears are still plugged. This happens most everytime I get a cold and I am losing my hearing
