Ever since the worst cold in years, my left ear has been blocked and deaf. I'm getting really fed up with it now, not only can I not hear what's being said to me, but bizzarely some sounds, like saucepans clattering, sound ridiculously loud in my other ear!
I've been steaming with olbas oil, trying to clear it, and don't know what to do now. I took packets of decongestants while I had the cold, my nose is clear now, but I don't know whether to go back on them again
