For a few days I started having issues with my left ear - it would feel plugged and pop and repeat that process a few times with just normal day activities. I usually wear ear plugs when I sleep so I stopped wearing them for a few days. But I took a flight today and during the flight when I was trying to sleep and the plane was descending I felt intense pressure in that same ear and then intense pain and then nothing - I could no longer hear out of that ear. It s been about 15 hours. I still feel pressure in my ear and pain with that. My ear started ringing maybe 5 hours ago and still is. I seem to be able to hear a bit more. For awhile when I would move my head it felt/sounded like there s something moving inside the ear and the pressure feels like it moves as well. It s not doing that currently. I tried laying on my side incase it was an ear infection that needed to drain but no pus or fluid has come out. It hurts a lot more laying down then sitting up. And there have been 2 times I ve felt sharp pain again for maybe 15-30 seconds and then it goes back to the achy/nagging pain. I was wonder if I should be concerned that I still feel pain and pressure for this long and what it could be?
