Right ear hearing reduced

2025-09-15 23:30:25
I have a hearing problem in my right ear for the past few days. Earlier, when I inserted my finger in the ear, the hearing would reduce and then return to normal, but now it stays reduced all the time. No pain, discharge, fever or anything else. It is uncomfortable, I cannot hear properly from that ear. Please advise on the next steps.
