Sudden blockage of the right ear and hearing loss may be related to cerumen impaction, sudden deafness, Meniere’s disease and other diseases.
1. Cerumen impaction: Excessive secretion of cerumen in the external auditory canal and obstruction of cerumen discharge may cause cerumen to accumulate in the external auditory canal, and once an impaction is formed, the affected ear may suddenly feel stuffy and blocked, with subsequent hearing loss.
2. Sudden deafness: refers to sudden and unexplained sensorineural hearing loss, which can be manifested as sudden hearing loss, and about 50% of the patients are accompanied by a feeling of stuffiness in the ear.
3. Ménière’s disease: an idiopathic disorder of the membranous labyrinthine fluid that manifests as recurrent episodes of rotational vertigo, fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus and/or a feeling of fullness in the ear. It is consistent with the onset of sudden muffled hearing loss in the right ear.
When sudden boring hearing loss in the right ear occurs, there are other possibilities, and you can actively seek medical attention and systematic examination to clarify the diagnosis and etiology.
