Cold, Ear Filled With Pressure, Ringing Nose, Hearing Loss. Am I Going To Be Deaf?
Hello
I have had a cold for 2 days and today before I got a shower I cleaned out my ears and when I was cleaning the right one my ear just filled with pressure and became clogged, i have lost 80% of my hearing in my right ear and its also making a ringing noise. I'm 17 and im really scared, am I going to go deaf in that ear?

Hi,
From your history it seems that you might be having impacted wax in your ear.
Due to hard impacted wax covering ear drum can cause temporary problem in hearing.
Consult ENT specialist and get examined.
Ok and take care.
