Hearing loss
Post a spell of flu, I feel that my ears are stuffed and my hearing has reduced. When I bend my neck backwards, they appear to clear out and the clarity increases.
I think I have hearing loss in my left ear. Please let me know how long does a hearing test and subsequent treatment would take.
