Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having impacted earwax giving rise this problem.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
If there is impacted wax, then put some wax dissolving ear drops like Waxolve for few days.
Wax will be softened and then get it removed gently with q-tip.
It is preferable to remove wax by your doctor.
Many a time due to yeast infection in external ear ear can be clogged.
Avoid enter water into ears while taking shower.
After shower clean the ears and make it dry.
Ok and take care.
