Middle ear congestion is often overlooked but never by a surgeon.

A tympanogram is a quick and easy test which reveals the function of an eardrum. This is done without fail.

You claim this specialist agreed that you should continue to flush an ear canal he has just cleared?



Bullshit.
What part is distressing to you?

The specialist took out a lot of wax from the left ear, and said that "99%" was out, but I could use peroxide and a wash to get the rest of it if I wanted.

I'm not sure what a tympanogram is, but I was actually told that they wanted me to do some kind of hearing test in a different appointment before seeing the doctor. I declined this because I wasn't concerned about losing my hearing -- I was concerned about a blockage in my ear! My hearing was fine 2 days prior to the visit. I didn't feel like wasting time and money on a useless hearing test, because I do not think this is a hearing issue -- bad hearing is just a side effect of whatever is happening.

Anyway this is all probably moot because it looks like a virus is doing it to me. I could actually have a coronavirus which isn't COVID. Many colds in the winter are coronaviruses.
