Suggest Remedy For Loss Of Hearing In An Ear With Wax Buildup
Okay so about a month ago i I went to the doctor because I had an earwax buildup & now i wake up to find that i have lost hearing in my right ear, Keep in mind that before i knew that earwax buildup causes loss of hearing but this is worst, i m scared because i have tried to put my finger in my ear, i think that i pushed the earwax deeper & i also use olive oil for my ears.

Welcome to HCM. Sorry about the hearing loss. Please note that this is common, however, if even olive oil has not worked you need to see an ENT (Ear Nose and Throat) doctor who has special tools to remove the wax, the regular doctor would use water based washes that may not work since it is possible you have compacted the wax to your ear drum. I hope this helps and good luck.
