Hearing problem

2018-04-02 16:59:07
I hear echo of my own voice in left ear but this is minimal. It started happening very recently. I also feel my left ear clogged but it's clean when I checked at home. Is it due to listening songs on earphones? Am I going to be deaf or already deaf?

You seem to be suffering from eustachian tube dysfunction which usually occurs secondary to common cold. It usually resolves spontaneously after few days. You can use decongestant medicines for few days for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
