Hello everyone so as the title states my hearing in my right ear has just gone so bad after having all of the above. Started of with a cold which lead to a throat and ear infection. I went doctors and she prescribed antibiotics for my throat infection and that cleared up. After a week my hearing was still bad in my right ear, so went back to the doctors, which I assumed was ear wax buildup and there was none what so ever, which really surprised me. So the doc said let’s wait a week to see if it clears up, if not come back. It weird though I could be sleeping for 8 hours, wake up and my hearing feels a lot better but when I get up and have been standing/sitting for half hour it returns to being really poor again.
