I've been dealing with this strange sensation in my left ear. It all started a few days back when I had a cold and was blowing my nose a lot. At one point, after blowing my nose, it felt like some kind of air pressure built up in my left ear. Now that my cold is gone, it still feels like Im breathing through my left ear. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing this?

I've been struggling with total hearing loss in one ear and hearing aids don't seem to work for me. Can you tell me more about cochlear implant surgery - like how it works, if I'd be a good candidate, and what the recovery process looks like? I'm really curious but also a bit nervous about the whole procedure.

Apollo is best for it.

Yes, there are non-surgical and natural approaches to managing vocal cord polyps, and consulting with specialists in India is a good idea. Non-surgical options include voice therapy, lifestyle modifications (hydration, avoiding irritants), and sometimes medication. Homeopathy and other alternative therapies are also explored by some. Specialized ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) doctors in India can provide comprehensive care and personalized treatment plans.

Or maybe suggest a nearby doctor I can visit to get it taken care of? I live in Palava City, Dombivili East, Thane, 421204.
