A member asked:

Ear irrigation: after the procedure, i still can't hear through one ear very well. is this normal? how long should i wait before checking back in?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

DO NOT WAIT!: You must contact your Ear specialist as soon as possible. I am wearing hearing aids and it could be annoying. That said, I am very glad to have the hearing aids.
