I'm feeling this weird vacuum sensation in my left ear, and it's like my hearing's kinda off on that side. I tried using an earbud to see if there's anything blocking it, but there was nothing. I even put some warm oil in there, hoping it would help, but it's still not getting better. What could be going on?

I went to get a hearing aid and the dealer took an ear impression but now there's material stuck in my middle ear after the CT scan. What should I do next and which hospital is best for this? If surgery is needed, could there be complications like damage to the incus or stapes when removing the material?

Go to an ENT surgeon with expertise in otologic surgery. Extraction under microscopic guidance is safe, but risks like ossicle damage must be discussed beforehand.

I've been experiencing this strange issue where during the night, a water-like fluid seems to drip out of my nose, and it's been happening for the past three months. Along with this, I've also been dealing with a persistent cough. I'm starting to get worried and wonder what might be causing this. Could this be something serious or just a common problem that will go away on its own? Any insights or advice would be really appreciated.
