Sudden deafness in one ear. Cant go to doctors for the next few days. What to do?

Posted , 1 user is following.

Well i woke up one day to see that my hearing was way worse in one ear than the other, but i still could hear from it. Im 20 years old so this came as a big surprise to me. I tried every single thing to "undeafen" my ear since things like that happen from time to time. I tried yawning, moving my jaw in a way that would normally unclog it , to use vacuum with my hand/finger and even cleaned them. None of it worked. My plan was to, since it was Thursday that day (yesterday), to try to use ear drops for the next three days, since the doctors dont work on Saturdays and Sundays, and then if that doesnt work to go to a doctor on Monday. While that was an okay plan i used the drops today (Friday), and my hearing got worse. Now i cant hear anything in that ear. I looked up all possible things it could be and only a few seemed to correlate with my situation. And those were the worst ones. I do not want to lose my hearing at 20, and so im a bit scared and angry. I dont know what to do and im only posting this to see if by some chance theres someone who had a similar situation or knows about it. And if i could maybe get some advice that could help me because god damn is being deaf irritating.
