How to tell if ear is clogged due to wax in external ear or fluid in middle ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ENT consultation: If you year is blocked, you can not differentiate between impacted wax and middle ear fluid. The treatments are entirely different and you need a specific diagnosis by a specialist, an ENT doctor.
