How Can Blocked Ear And Hearing Loss Be Treated?

I had a cough and cold for 3 weeks and during that time and now I have had hearing loss in my right ear and it feels blocked. I have a clap machine so I am not sure if that has also effected the ear staying the way it is. I don t have pain. I saw urgent care a week into this cold and they prescribed OC medication. So I am wondering if I should see a doctor again. I was looking for home remedies too.
