Hello. I seem to have some moderate hearing loss in my left ear. I have a slight stuffy nose and runny nose that started last night and sneezing my head off. I think the hearing loss may have to do with wax build up but I'm not sure. No fever/vomitting/dizziness or anything like that. My ear was itchy two days ago on the inside like I could almost feel wax building up and wasn't sure how to clear it so I itched it. The hearing loss happened a few hours ago because of the moderate but dull pain. It started as a dull pain and then I couldn't hear out of my left ear and the pain became more moderate. I tried ear drops one time which very briefly helped ease the pain but now its back again. I feel a bit better when I lay down on it. I'm not sure how to fix it but it is starting to become bothersome. Also, any time I have to burp or cough it very briefly feels like it's going to pop and hurts worse. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you. Laura Barnes
