Hearing issues: Please have your doctor refer you to an ear, nose, and throat specialist. Let me know how things go. On a separate note, I grew up in Sydney (most think I never grew up), got a scholarship to St. Louis, Missouri, but could not get a trip back home. I have been here in Michigan since 1976 and have only been back to Sydney on three occasions.

By the description above, likely to be external to ear
