Hearing less from right ear
I hear less from my right ear compared to my left ear from many years after i cleaned my ear once. Recently when i was clearing wax from my right ear, i found the cotton from the ear bud missing though i didnt find it lying anywhere. From there on i hear even less. Is it possible it must have stuck inside? Thought my husband couldnt see any cotton fixed nor i feel any uneasiness. Please advise...

Hearing less could mean that there is an issue which needs to be checked.. Cotton could be thr inside which may not be easily visible to you. Also there could be wax or any infection in the war which may be causing hearing loss.. Do get it checked and get an audiogram done for confirmation.
