Blocked Ear

Since I was a kid, to a teenager, to an adult, I did experienced this 'Blocked Ear' problem.

It doesn't happen consistently, but maybe once or twice a year during the kid to teenager years? I can't remember also... But if I am not wrong, its been 4 to 5 years that I didnt experience this problem till last week =x

What I mean by blocked ear is, you can feel the ear is closed & can't listen properly. Your hearing is a bit affected, but not deaf exactly (Choi!!!)

In order to regain back the normal hearing, you need to rub your ear gently for it to open a bit. Sometimes it work, sometimes don't. If it doesn't work, you must not rub it for numerous times, otherwise your ear will be in pain. Just got to leave it till it opened by itself.

Since last week when I was sleeping, the ears will get closed. It happens everyday whenever I sleep. I need to do something about it, as it's been affecting my sleep.

Imagine you can't hear in a ear, that's uncomfortable. I got no choice but to visit a doctor yesterday. It's about the ear oil/wax being stuck inside your ear & I can hear the oil sound when I rub it. As long the wax doesn't come out from the ear, this problem will not be solved.

There's only 2 options. Either I get the ear drop, dip into the ear hole & see if the wax will melt out OR need to use a tube to cleanse out the wax (Done by a doctor of cuz) I choose the former 1st as I don't dare to try out the latter.

It might be painful even though the doctor say it's not pain. My mum has tried the latter before & she say its pain. Maybe now its different tube? I also don't know haha...

Anyway the doctor say, see how it goes for 1 week. If its still the same, I need to try the latter method. Sob Sob... =( Hope it works now & I need to refrain my ears from listening to mp3 now.
