there are two possibilities. first you may have completely packed your wax-filled ear against the eardrum. in this case your eardrum cannot move and thus your hearing would be diminished. second you may have ruptured your eardrum or at the very least caused trauma to the eardrum (even if you did not see any blood). for a wax impaction a warm water lavage would likely remove the packed wax however if the integrity of your eardrum has been disrupted (requires an otoscopic exam by a medical professional) washing out your ear would be contraindicated. an ent or a trained professional would need to carefully remove the wax impaction stop using q-tips! they are dangerous and earwax is not dirt. it is a beneficial protective coating for the ear canal.
i can't hear much out of my left ear after going to deep with q-tip doesn't hurt though. any suggestions to hear again. i heard a popping cracking noise before and i decided to clean my ear out. the next day it felt like swimmer's ear sort of fluid in there so i cleaned again and it felt like i went in too deep. to make clear i have no pain i just cannot hear fully out of my left ear. i have tried the ear-wax softener three times and have had no luck.
