Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of self cleaning by you with a earbud and development of thumping pressure in the left ear on waking up in the morning.
Since there is a history of ear cleaning by you, it is possible that you have desquamated a part of the ear canal.
This can lead to the inflammation of the ear structures.
Another possibility is that the inflammation might have traversed from the nose or throat to the middle ear cavity.
In either cases there is a possibility of secretory changes and you need a proper clinical evaluation and examination by the ENT Surgeon to find the proper diagnosis and treatment.
