Cant hear from my left ear

2017-06-01 04:52:28
It may be due to the presence of wax inside my left ear that I am not able to hear properly from it. Head is getting heavy and it is very irritating. I even used ear buds that are of no use.

Hello there. I can understand your concern. Never put ear buds in the ear because it may just worsen the situation and can even cause deafness by damaging the tympanic membrane. Get it checked out by a ENT specialist in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards.
