Left Ear partially blocking

2017-05-08 09:11:45
I am 32 years old. I am observing for last few days that my left ear is partially blocking when i press it or press just outside my ear. and then after some time, it works normal. Not sure if this could be due to wax or so. Please suggest.

Yes, a ball of wax is almost but not completely blocking your ear, so, stretching the pinna backwards temporarily relieves the block!
