Why Am I Not Able To Hear From My Left Ear?

Hi i am 20 years of age. I keep on telling my docter that i cannot hear in my left ear and he did all kinds of tests since i was 10. According to him there is nothing wrong with my ears i can hear perfectly. I dont know if its just in my head or what, but when someone wispers in my left ear i cant hear anything they say.When i close my right ear and someone talks i cant hear a thing in any ear. I feel embarrased and stupid i want to use both ears but cant.what to do?

Hello,

I am sorry for the hearing problems you are facing. Clogged ears from wax is a common cause for lack of hearing especially if you use to wear earphone. I think you should check it out with ENT specialist first. If no wax, and no infection, then, should run audiogram test to see if any damaged hearing nerves. If still nothing, then, Ct-scan and MRI of the head if further recommended. But, first get an immediate consultation with ENT specialist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
