Brief Answer: get an audiometry test Detailed Answer: Hello and welcome to health care magic, I am Dr Sriram Nathan an ENT surgeon and I will try to help you out with your problem. If you have even a slight doubt that one of your ears is blocked or not hearing properly then you must do these - get an ENT consult as soon as possible and rule out local causes like wax or infections and get it cleaned or treated as the case maybe - if all is fine with the drum and ear canal then you must go to any hearing center and get a test called the PURE TONE AUDIOMETRY and IMPEDANCE testing done You can get back to me or any ENT with the results and this will definitely solve your problem Hope this helps and if you have any other doubts do get back to me and I will be happy to answer them Regards Dr Sriram Nathan
