Hi,

You are having impacted wax in the ear. So clogged felling is present. You have to follow your otorhinolaryngologist advise to loosen wax with ear drops.

Then after few days, impacted wax can be removed by syringing or suction. Don't use any rod to clean ear.

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

Regards,
