See an ENT doctor : Igloo air is thick mucus secretions in the middle ear and the longer it’s present, the more likely the eardrum will retract and cause worsening of your hearing. This is totally correctable and is often treated first with a course of oral steroids prior to consideration of placing a tube in the ear. If you’ve not already done so, seeing an ENT doctor is the next step. A hearing test is done too.
