Question : Hi Doctor, I had consulted you two weeks ago about a muffled right ear, I used the ear drops that you had suggested but still seem to see no difference, I have searched for audiometric test in Non Covid hospitals but none seem to be open for one, do I have any other alternative for the same? Thank you

Brief Answer:
Audiometry testing in all ENT OPDs

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Audiometry testing is a must in your case and its readily available in ENT OPDs. If antibiotics didn't have much effect then it even becomes necessary to go for ENT testing. You dont have to search for audiometry test. You simply visit any ENT surgeon in your area and he will be able to guide you about where this test can be done safely.
If you let me know your city, I can search some contact numbers of ENT offices near you.
