Hearing loss in one ear
About 5 weeks ago I had a niggling ear problem, it just felt like their was an infection in one ear. I phoned GP and got an appointment (next available one was in 8 days time!!), by then the ear problem had sort of resolved itself so I cancelled it. The past few days I've come down with the cold and yesterday while watching TV the same ear started giving me problems again, but of a different nature from the previous ones, now its like the ear is 'blocked' as if I need to pop it or I'm constantly waiting for it to pop. giving the resulting loss of hearing. the feeling or sensation is similar to having water in that ear. Any suggestions as to what It could be? just worried because of the usual nonsense of waiting 5-10 days just to see you're GP here in the UK and I'm rostered to fly the next 5 days.
