Why do my ears constantly feel like they are clogged making it hard to hear and popping them does not help?

Sometimes this is caused by excessive ear wax, this can build up because of bodily secretions or hair products. DO NOT USE cotton tipped applicators to try to get it out, that just makes it worse. You can use warm water and a little peroxide with a bulb syringe to loosen the wax and get it out.
