"I have a plugged ear and I can't hear well?"

If you have a blocked ear and are having trouble hearing, it could be due to a build-up of earwax. It is important not to insert anything into your ear, including Q-tips, as this can push the wax further into the ear canal and worsen the situation. You can try applying a few drops of oil (such as olive oil, vegetable oil, or baby oil) twice a day for 4-5 days to soften the earwax and help it come out. If this doesn't work or if you experience pain, dizziness, or other symptoms, it's best to consult a doctor.
