Blocked Ear Sensation, Constant Ringing, Difficulty Listening To Music. Recommendations?

I was listening to music at a fairly loud volume yesterday. I took out my earphones, and my left ear felt a bit muffled. Since then it has become worse, feeling blocked and has a slight constant ringing. I felt completely fine until I finished listening to my music, but -now- when I listen to music, I can hardly hear anything at all from that ear.

Hello,
I went through' your complaints, it seems you may have a problem called tinnitus.
You may have a middle ear infection leading to wax collecting in the middle Ear - which may be the cause for all of your problems. This called as tinnitus, which is not a disease. It is a symptom that something is wrong in the auditory system, which includes the ear, the auditory nerve that connects the inner ear to the brain, and the parts of the brain that process sound.
Consult your ENT specialist - he will ask you about your current health, medical conditions, and medications to find out if any other underlying condition is causing your tinnitus.
Few investigations like X-Ray or CT para nasal sinuses, Routine blood test like TC, DC, ESR, HG, Blood sugar, BP, ECG may be needed to rule out any other causes CT Brain, only if indicated
If ENT is the only cause for your Tinnitus - and if the symptoms are bothering you too much - he will explain you what are all the treatment available - probably leaving the type of treatment to your choice.
Best wishes
