You might be suffering from impacted wax inside your ear canal. Treatment depends on diagnosis and in cases of impacted ear wax you may need to get it removed.
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required. Meanwhile you can use Otorex ear drops to soften the wax then consult nearby ENT specialist so that he can remove it easily by suctioning or syringing
