Ear blockage

2020-05-15 13:53:12
Hi, my left ear is blocked since past 3 days. No visible issue from the outside and ear seems clean. It happened 3 days back when I woke up in the morning. There is no pain. Only the sound is muffled and ear seems blocked. I had no previous cough or cold that might trigger it. I tried chewing exercise to move anything that might be stuck in the internal side but no relief.

Is there some buzzing noise also in left ear? You need to see a doctor urgently and get a hearing test done. In cases of sensori-neural hearing loss, the treatment works only if it is instituted early ( within 2 weeks).
