I have had reduced hearing in my right ear for several months now. One day I had a build up of wax and it felt like my ear drum was blocked by wax. I have tried cleaning it out, but not with a QTip because I heard that it only pushed the wax further. Since then I have tried everything from vinegar and warm water in my ear to trying to blast it out with a makeshift syringe. Recently I was on a flight and all of sudden recovered full hearing in my right ear briefly. I figured it was due to the normal ear popping sensation that always happen. Now every time I yawn or belch my ear opens up for a split second, sometimes longer. At this time I’m not sure what to do. I haven’t been to a doctor yet, but I was trying to avoid a doctor visit as I live over seas in a developing nation and not to familiar with health care here. I was hoping there was something I could do myself to remedy my situation.
