adam o asked:


I saw a doctor about 4 months ago, he gave me a hearing test, and concluded that I do have normal hearing in my right ear. I also found out that I have hearing loss in my left ear. I can hear low and midrange frequencies, but not high frequencies in just that ear. I hope this doesn’t effect me going into the air force. I wanted to get a job in computer programming.
does the air force even test hearing?

Hearing loss?

I always listen to music halfway loud, and I have an Ipod with the earbud earphones, but one day, my left ear went really muffled. Its been this way for a week or maybe more, so i thought, alright, i have hearing loss. But yesterday, i put my fingertip in my ear and there seemed to be wax that was really watery and it feels crusty-like in that ear.

I let water run a few days ago and when i muffled my left ear, my RIGHT ear seemed bad, and my left ear seemed fine. Another night I muffled my right ear, and the LEFT ear seemed really muffled/bad.

Its strange because it varies in each ear, but its mostly the left. Its really strange…help please? Its like the left ear heals…so the hearing loss goes to the right ear…then the right ear heals, and the left one goes bad again.

Should i seek a doctor? Wtf is going on?? Help?

My brother has over the last 2 days lost the hearing in his left ear. Anyone had a problem like this before, what was it, how did you fix it? We are thinking a ball of wax rolled into where it blocks his hearing, but has anyone else had other issues?

Does this cause hearing loss?

This is a kind of gross question but you guys know those earwax pickers right? You stick it in your ear to get earwax out. Well I have hearing loss in my left ear but I can still hear with my right one. The right ear isn’t that sharp anymore, maybe its earwax build up? So my question is, will you lose your hearing if you stick the earwax picker too deep into your ear to try and clean it out?

don_megaWC asked:


I’m 29 with sensorineural hearing loss in only my left ear. My ENT ordered a CT and was able to rule out any inner ear deformities and couldn’t give me an answer as to a cause. I just don’t believe that there is no reason, there has to be a cause right? He only says that the only way they could determine a cause is if I were dead and they did an autopsy. What can I do next?
