I've been "deaf" in my right ear for over a week now. At first I assumed it was earwax so I bought some debrox and tried that for 3 days.

After no improvement I went to a doctor, which was a woman, and she demanded I pay her 250 dollars for a nurse with a super soaker to shoot water into my ear and extract pin prick sized bits of ear wax.

After the water, the doctor came back and said i have a bump on my eardrum (lolwtf?) but couldnt be more specific if it was a bulging part or if the entire thing was protruding.

The doctor said it was an infection...which is weird cuz it doesnt hurt at all... and Ive had no discharge but WTF LETS TAKE IT ANYWAY. Ive downed antibotics for 5 or 6 days twice a day at 850 Mg (dont care), and put some anti itch/earwax drops in my ear 5 drops for 3 times times a day.


No change at all.

Can /fit/ save my hearing?

Op here.

TL;DR version:Im deaf, no earwax, no infection. I can still hear myself hum and shit but nothing from outside the ear.

your other ear is still working? Sorry, can't diagnose you over the nets. See another doc if you don't trust the first.

I have exactly the same problem: always have problems with my ears, sometimes I go deaf for up to a week at a time. Also, like yourself, its not earwax or infection related. I usually just put up with it though until my ear pops and everythings good.

let me just say this:

free healthcare is excellent. remember this situation in a couple years once your miserly self has gone deaf completely and see if you're still "HAPPY I DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT SOME OF US WILL NEVER USE"

fuck america, fuck you
enjoy being deaf.

Oh and it all started when I was washing my face and i got water in my ear.


but the thought of water in my ear for 8 or 9 days is just absurd.

Go to an actual Otologist so they know what they're talking about before wasting 250 bucks worth rent or game money next time.
