How Can Clogged Ear After A Bath Leading To Muffled Hearing Be Treated?

4 days ago I got water in my ear while I was in the shower washing hair dye off of my head with shampoo. Ever since then my hearing in my right ear has been muffled. I have been sleeping with my right ear down so anything that s in there can drain out. I have tried cleaning my ears with a tissue and I have tried blowing air through my mouth while plugging my nose and I have tried salt water. Nothing seems to be helping. I have no pain in my ear but this has been causing headaches and decongestants have been no help. What can I do to cure my muffled hearing???
