Suggest Remedy For Loss Of Hearing Due To Blocked Ear

My ear has been plugged for a week now. I went to an emergicare 2 days ago to see what was wrong. First they took a tool and dug out some earwax. While doing that, the nurse said she irritated my ear canal. They then flushed my ear with hydrogen peroxide. They sent me home and it bled for a day and a half. It didn t fix the problem. It is still plugged and I can t hear out of the ear. I have tried many MANY home remedies and tried flushing it myself at home. Still no luck. I can t go another day with my ear like this. What should I do? Could the nurse have caused damage when she made my ear bleed?

Hi,

The clogged ear can cause hearing loss caused by common cold, sinus infection, ear wax, high altitude ( travel in flight ), inflammation of nerve for the ear.

In your case, it was not wax. While removal of wax(?) your eardrum has been injured, you had attempted ear wash your self. It's important to consult an ENT surgeon before trying any home remedy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
