ENT Specialist 's  Response
You need to get a Hearing test done on you to know the type of hearing loss, whether the middle ear has fluid in it and causing blocking sensation or the tube which connects your ear to the nose is chocked. Kindly visit a ENT doctor and get the following test done: Audiogram- Pure tone And Impedence Audiometry with Eustachian Tube Function.
I hope the above solves your query. Do contact us if you need any assistance.
