Oh my goodness! My ear was blocked for 6 weeks! It was so crazy. I don't remember getting water in it but after my shower on 01/12/2018 my ear was blocked and stayed that way for 6 weeks! I went to urgent care, then to my doctor and then to a specialist. The just kinda all scratched theirs heads because I did not have the flu, a cold and didn't travel by airplane. I go next week for an MRI and soon for a hearing test but luckily my hearing came back. Sometimes it goes out but nothing awful like when it was blocked. I am going to have them do all the test they want to but I am so glad it came back. Although my other ear was fine, it was so unsettling. They told me it could take 3 months to come back and I might need surgery! I was so frustrated that I could not hear but so depressed too that it may not come back. Really goes to show you to appreciate what you have. I am fortunate it came back and want it to stay! We will see what the MRI and hearing test say but I am feeling positive again. The strangest things happen to me.
