Left Ear Clogged After Using Q-Tip

2017-07-22 20:19:03
After I pulled out the Q tip, my ear was completely clogged and can barely hear anything. I tried to use Debrox that same day and no effect. Today I went to Urgent Care, the doctor flushed my ear with no results. I now have to schedule to see an ENT! Is there anything they can do? Can you reassure me my hearing loss isn't permanent? I'm in no pain.
