Ear blockage and subsequent ringing

2025-01-30 06:24:56
Felt blockage in my left ear yesterday after showering and was advised to use clearwax eardrops for treatment. Now ear feels clear but I can hear a mild ringing which is very apparent when surroundings are quiet. Is this normal? And how long will this persist?
