I think I know what the culprit is and it’s the wax I was trying to get out in the first place. It’s turned into like a muck and gummed my ear right up. It seems to be worse at night when I sleep but during the day when my head is elevated it feels better. I’m going to make a doc appt to see about getting my ears flushed out with the syringe they have. Worked for me in the past.
