Ear Felt Numb And Lost Hearing After Shoving With Finger When Ear Felt Blocked. How To Cure?
This evening I noticed my ears felt a little blocked so stupidly I started shoving my finger up my left ear quite a lot. It started off as something a little annoying but a while after my finger was in my ear the hearing has almost gone and my ear feels numb. Any suggestions on why this is and how to solve it?

Hi, you seem to have inadvertently pushed some wax plug or debris which must have been there in your external auditory canal near the ear drum and this has resulted in complete blocked up feeling. Please get your ear examined and cleaned by an ENT and things should be fine. Reagrds
