My hearing is gone in my left ear and it is painful?!


Question: My hearing is gone in my left ear and it is painful?
Last night i was in bed and i rubbed my ear a little and it went all deaf and ached really bad i thought that it would go away when i went to sleep but i woke up this morning and it was still aching wih no sound in my ear at all, it feels like there is water or something in my ear but i didn't have a shower yesterday so i know it isn't water, and it's fully blocked up.
I don't have a cold right now so i know it isn't that, and it feels all crackly when i swallow or speak.
When i try and move my ear to pop it, it doesn't work. i've tried holding my breath, pulling down on my ear etc...
and it just starts to ache really bad for a few minutes but doesn't stop being deaf and crackly.
Please help me, what could this be?
Am i deaf in my ear??

Answers:

You probably have an ear infection. It usually goes away on its own but if it doesn't then you need to see a doctor. Another possibility, given that you were rubbing it when you went deaf, is that it's been sealed up with wax. Go to the drugstore and get an ear wax cleaning kit. This features drops you put in your ear. You leave them there for 15 minutes. Then you go to the sink. The kit comes with a bulb or syringe, which you fill with WARM water and then put in your ear canal and shoot it out, which cleans out your ear of both the drops and the wax! Shoot the water from the bulb multiple times. You won't hurt your ear doing it. If, after you do that and get all the wax out, your ear still hurts, then it's an ear infection.



it is probably a middle ear infection.
