Am I going deaf in my left year?

Question

Yesterday me and my friend went to the movies and it was pretty loud in there so I closed my ears really tight with my finger. When I took my finger out I couldn't hear out of my left year. (My right ear is fine though.)

A little while afyer I guess it uncloged a little but when I woke up this mornign I couldn't hear out of my left ear again!

Do I need to see a doctor?

Answer 1

You might.  It's probably ear wax.  Take some olive oil (yes, really!) and drop about five drops in the affected ear.  Leave it sit for about 10 minutes - you might need to lay on your side to keep it in your ear - and then use warm water to rinse it out.

If that doesn't help, you may need to see a doctor; they have high pressure ear canal cleaners that'll blast any ear wax out of the ear canal.  But try it yourself first, since a lot of times olive oil and a little warm water is enough to soften the wax and clear it out.

Answer 2

My first suggestion is to make your ears pop.. see if that clears up anything. If not.. then go see the doc, you may have earwax, or something clogging it. I am pretty sure its not that bad. But go get it checked out to be sure.  

Answer 3

i would go see the doctor as your having a prob it could just need cleaning by them, or the loud noise could have perforated your ear drum. get it checked.
