Good judgement ears: You may have melted ear wax and pushed it against ear drum. Someone needs to look and see. I would not do that again-blow dry ear. I trust you now have good judgement on how not to blow dry ears. How do you get good judgement you ask? By bad judgement. ;-)

I always wake up with muffled hearing until I pop my ear. The last two days, I have woken up with a roaring/ringing sound in my ear. Water got in my ear today and then I put my fingertip in my ear. I am now experiencing dizziness with movement?
