Reduced hearing/ blocked ear

2021-05-07 23:18:09
Vacuum was created in ear canal while digging with finger. Ear drum has been sucked inwards. Hearing is reduced in that ear. Tried methods like chewing, blowing air into nose etc. Will it return to its normal functioning naturally or OTC medication is required? Difficult to visit ENT specialist during lockdown. Please advise.
