Ears blocked after microsuction twice
I had microsuction to remove impacted ear wax. It went great, I could hear. Then a few days later, I had a shower and my ears were blocked again, even though I did everything not to get water in my ears. I used olive oil ear drops after. It did nothing.
A month later I decided to do microsuction again. Removed the ear wax. I could hear for a week. Then one of my ears got blocked. It unblocked itself after a day. Then a few days later, both of my ears got blocked again. It never unblocked itself. I have been using olive oil ear drops for a few days. Nothing helps, there is no ear wax in my ears but I still can't hear. Maybe there's some ear wax way deeper, but I don't know.
I don't know what to do. I've already spent £35 on the first microsuction and £55 on the second one. I don't want to do a third microsuction just for my ears to get blocked after a few days. It's costing me too much money.
Any advice? I only had impacted ear wax in the first place because I was a dumbass and scratched the hell out of my ears with cotton buds to the point that there was a tiny bit of blood. I think I scratched the inside of my ear canal that first time.
