Am I going deaf?!
Question: I'm kind of panic-ing right now. Im 15. Around 4 days ago, My ear felt as if it was blocked. This happened before and i was able to fix it by pressing on the thing in front of your ear (The little piece of skin idk..) And it will release the wax. Well I got it 4 days ago.. And it didnt work. I bought some ear wax softener.. and no results. Ive tried everything. Im afraid im going deaf or something. My hearing is low.
Things you should know...
-I currently have sniffles
-A somewhat of a cough
-I dont dry my ears to much after showers.
Im sure its not water. So, what can it be?
(If it doesnt subside im going to the doctors tuesday.)

If your ears usually get blocked then it's probably just more wax that's blocking them. If you go to the doctor they have this air-hose thing that will blast all the crap out of there for you.
P.S.
Read this article on ear candles before you run out and buy one of those: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ear_candlin...
dont panic....go to the health food store and buy an ear candle. ask them for instruction. you will need someone to help you with it. it takes about 20 minutes and i assure you your ear will feel sooo much better.
Sound like you have a cold or sinus infection. One of the symptoms includes ear fullness/blockage.
