I have had about 60% hearing in my right ear for about two years.....I thought I had hearing loss. I went to the doc...nothing he could diagnose. I used q-tips....wax removal, nothing. I always thought that there was like something preventing high end sounds from being heard. Actually my ears are probably cleaner than most. Today I blew my nose(nothing was dislodged ;) ) and my ear popped like a pressure release when you come down on a plane and my ear opened up and my hearing is perfect....WTF????
