It happened again this morning. Woke up with my right earat 30%. I can hardly hear anything out of my ear. This isn't the first time its happened either. Last time was only a few weeks a go. Or I should say, it took 3 weeks to get rid of it and now its back!!!

I'm guessing my eye is water logged? I clean my ears at least twice a day. I'm serious. I clean my ears a lot. I keep trying to pop it, but it won't and its only hurting my left ear trying to pop it all day.

Do any of you get this? What do you do for it? Its getting really annoying lately and people think are you retarded or something when I have to keep asking them to talk louder and getting right up in their faces so I can hear whatever they are saying.

wow, a lot of spelling errors. I love weekends...

Anyways,
30% meaning I can still hear but not well at all!

Not enough underage pron.

I've talked to the medics, they don't know shit. I probably should see a professional.

i think i have a solution for you

based onw hat you said (you clean your ears 1-2 times a day) thats your problem.

not long ago i went def for a day in one ear, then about a week later i lost balance, i could barely walk for a week without worrying about falling down.

temp solution: get some ear drops to try and speed up the recovery process, after 2-3 days of hte ear drops i was able to walk again

longterm solution: stop cleaning your ears so much, thats what led to my problem from what i know, i havnt had the problem since.

i know my case is different then yours, but im pretty damn sure its caused from the same thing.

I clean mine maybe once a week. That's really all you need to.

Twice a day is a little overkill there bud.

yeah and when you are cleaning your ear, make sure you dont use ANY force...You can seriously damage your eardrum. Maybe you actually pack the wax into your ear canal when you try to clean it(reducing your ability to hear)??

btw...who is that chick in your avatar? bret?

True.

I use plenty force. lol. No, I know what you mean. My ears are already messed up up from a non-popping experience while swimming. =\
I considered the fact that I did pack wax tight into there but the fact remains it FEELS like its waterlogged. I can hear it slosh around in there. It always seems to happen when I sweat a lot at night. But I never thought water logging could be so bad.

You don't know who is in my avy? Oh snap its Jojo!
