Cause of Tinnitus
A loud Concert - Noise Exposure
Over the last few days, my ears have been feeling "blocked," especially my left ear, which has a smaller canal. My right ear also feels blocked at times, but it tends to clear after I sit up for a few minutes. I am scheduled for an ear cleaning next week, so this might just be due to wax buildup. However, I am wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar. The sensation usually improves after a few hours as the day goes on.

When lying down, I would estimate my hearing is reduced by about 50% in my right ear and 70% in my left ear. Additionally, I feel some inflammation behind my jaw, just below my ear.
