I'm in a bit of a situationI was using an earbud, and now some cotton is stuck in my ear. I'm heading to the hospital to get it taken out, but I'm a bit nervous about the whole thing. Is it painful when they remove cotton from the ear?

I've been dealing with ear problems for the past 5 years and have seen multiple doctors but still no improvement. My hearing loss is around 50db in both ears. What treatment options would you recommend? If surgery is the best route, could you suggest some good hospitals? And if non-surgical treatments are better, what kind of treatments should I consider? I'm 27 years old and really want to find a solution that works.

You may need further evaluation for ear issues; both surgical and hearing aids are options—visit a tertiary ENT center.

my hearing has been really muffled lately and i think it might be glue ear ive heard about grommet surgery but im not sure if i need it or if theres other options i should try first

If you suspect glue ear and are concerned about muffled hearing, it's best to consult a doctor or audiologist. While grommet surgery (myringotomy with grommet insertion) can be a solution for persistent glue ear, it's not always the first step. Other options include observation, medications (like antibiotics or decongestants), and temporary use of hearing aids.
