I've had conductive hearing loss for a month now, after rubbing ear hard one day. if i wait more months to get impacted ear wax cleaned out due to covid, do i still have a high chance of regaining my normal hearing?

Is it true that untreated impacted earwax can cause permanent hearing loss? I've had conductive hearing loss for about three weeks after having rubbed my ear hard. But I am discouraged from going to the doc due to COVID. How long is too long? Scared?

Hi! I had a hearing test which showed "mild hearing loss in both ears." I still hear worse out of my right ear--sometimes sounds like right ear is hearing "under water." Could I have tumor or neuroma/malignancy? Drs. not giving endoscopes dueto covid?
