There is a term. Proximity does not mean causation. Just because a symptom happens in close proximity to another event does not mean that event caused the symptoms.

As I said, Clogged ears have nothing to do with concussions. They can be connected to head movement causing ear wax to move and lodge in a way that makes the ear feel plugged.

Slamming a car door can cause an air pressure wave that can effect the ear.

You have to let go of these ideas of such minor events being a concussion. No concussion symptoms list includes clogged ears as a symptom of a concussion.

The fact you asked on this thread about 5 times if the speed bumps could cause you a concussion... that is what I meant when I suggested you had anxiety by worrying about "possible concussions".

Oh I see. Sorry, I get really worried about this stuff. I really need to get some help about my anxiety.

That's ok. I understand anxiety all too well unfortunately as I deal with it myself. It sure can complicate life.
