Blocked ears, problem in hearing

2020-03-24 02:09:31
I suffered from cough and congestion in chest for around 2 weeks. During my recovery from that, my ears felt blocked. Now that I have recovered completely, my hearing still hasn't returned to norma. Hearing in my left ear is muffled. While my right ear seems fine, I can hear a crinkling sound whenever I swallow air
