What Causes Difficulty In Hearing In Left Ear?
I have been having trouble hearing out of my left ear for a month. Everything sounds muffled like there is water trapped in my ear. I usually clean my ears with a towel after showering. To try and fix the problem I have been using q-tips and hydrogen peroxide. What can I do?

Hello,
Don't insert any thing into ears. This clogged feeling may be due to middle ear infection or due to allergy or eustachian tube blockage. Use tablet lecope-AD twice a day for five days. Use water vapour inhalation thrice a day. If no improvement please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
