My right ear is blocked

2018-07-12 14:01:49
I am 18 year old, before I say about my problem I would like you to know certain things. I use earphones to listen songs daily, about 20 to 25 minutes, and sometimes (mostly twice in a week) at night 30 to 45 minutes. So, once I went for having shower and when I came out I feel like there's some water in my right ear and since then I started having problem of listening.       Now I get to listen little from my (R) ear, so I need your (doc.) help to let me know what's wrong with my right ear. And I am having this problem since May, 2017. Thank You.

Hi...Water causes wax to swell and causes bloackage and decreased hearing.
Next Steps
use clear wax ear drops...2 drops twice daily. and since you are having this problem for more than 1 year better to get a pure tone audiogram(hearing test) done to rule out nerve related deafness.
