Return visit to MD: If your ear has felt clogged for six months and your treatment did not improve it you should see your doctor again. If the cleaning did not help then it isn't from wax impaction. The hearing test will rule out hearing loss, which can be synonymous with "clogging". Tympanometry and the ear exam will usually pick up a eustachian tube problem. Tmj related problems and sinusitis can cause this also.

Need repeat testing: If it still feels clogged, something seems wrong. Should consider repeat hearing test. If you haven't seen a specialist, may be time to do so.

Back to the Dr.: If your hearing test was normal there is probably nothing to worry about. If your hearing is decreased I am sure the ENT would have done more tests like an mri, corneal sensitivity that may be related. Sounds like chronic sinusitis. The same ENT specialist is the best person to go back to and present the findings.
