Around 5 days ago I was attempting to blow air through my nose whilst keeping it closed; as I was hearing crackling noises in my ears - I constantly hear these sounds except this time they were a lot worse as I am currently ill with the flu. Anyhow, I blew the air and I felt my left ear pop.
Since this day this ear has lost a bit of it's hearing and it feels as if there's pressure there. No matter what I do I can't seem to unblock it.
I'm still ill at the moment so I'm just hoping I'm stuck like this because of the temporary illness, however the longer it takes the more I worry my left ear won't be the same again.
So what could possibly be happening here? How can I unblock my ear?
Thanks.
