I can barely hear out of my left ear. What do I do?

[Lørd Tøny]

So yesterday it felt like there was a stuffload of pressure in one of my ears. Then the pressure got worse and everything was echoing. Now I just hear ringing noises and I can still hear out of the ear but not by much.

Happens to me all the time in this elevation, just wait it out.

[Trogtor]

It actually might be an infection.

Try looking in it by taking a picture or something.

I'm on ground level.

[Thompson]

I'm on ground level.

Doesn't matter, it will heal in 2 - 3 days time.

[Fredulus]

I'm on ground level.

...lol

do you perhaps mean sea level?

[fred da kiko]

...lol

do you perhaps mean sea level?

no. he means he is not on a mountain or in a plane.

[Fredulus]

no. he means he is not on a mountain or in a plane.

irrelevant..

[Lørd Tøny]

irrelevant..

I don't see how.

[Ethan]

no. he means he is not on a mountain or in a plane.

The correct terminology is sea level.
Everything is on 'ground level' if you phrase it like that.

Also, ynot, hold your nose so that no air can escape, then blow really hard out your nose while closing your mouth. The extra air will escape through crevices in your ears, and will 'unblock' them, so to speak.

NO DONT BLOW HARD, BLOW GENTLY! God, are you trying to intentionally cause him pain?

Hard.
Blow gently? Pfft. You ponce.
That's not going to do anything.

He can try it gently and gradually work his way up until it works, if he doesn't have balls.

Well if he has a lot of pressure built up in his head and blew really hard it feel like someone set iff a bomb in his ears.

One time my ears didn't equalize the whole flight and when we landed it felt like an elephant was trying to crush my head. I thought if I blew hard the pain would end quickly, WRONG, it hurt so much I fell and almost broke my laptop. Even then it wouldn't equalize, so throughout the whole day my ears would pop and each time it felt like hell.

But that was the only time it hurt now that I think about it... So maybe you're right.

Well that's extreme. He hasn't been flying. When you're flying, you do it constantly.
I'm talking mostly for when traveling in cars, semi long distances (few hours). The changes in altitude change the pressure in your ears, so at the end of the trip, it's such a feeling of relief to turn that tinny sound into deep hearing again and to remove the pressure.
