Greetings. From your history, it is likely to be 1. tubal block 2. Nerve weakness 3. Impacted wax (if you have a history of ear bud usage) Some causes may become better with time while others may worsen.
Next Steps
consult online/direct for proper evaluation and management. May need to do a basic hearing test.
Health Tips
avoid ear buds/chilled food items.
