What Causes Pressure And Clogging Of Right Ear?

I have had a sudden sort of hearing loss in my right ear. There is no pain,however, it feels as if my ear is clogged like a pressure in my ear. I have been using qtips to clean it out and have been getting alot of brown gunk on the qtips only in the right ear. I clean my ears often and I clean them together the amount of gunk coming out of the right ear lately is odd. I have cleaned the right ear multiple times today and get less and less gunk each time however there is not improvement in my hearing loss. What should I do?

Hello,

It is not recommended to clean the ears by yourself. If you don’t have improvement of the hearing you should go and see an ENT specialist doctor for further follow up.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
