Ear wax buildup?

The flu virus can, I believe, affect hearing...here..

Can the flu hurt your ears?

A: Yes, we saw several people this past year who had sudden hearing loss along with the flu. The symptoms included dizziness, tinnitus, and hearing loss. The hearing loss seems to start out as partly conductive and partly sensorineural, that is partly due to fluid buildup in the inner ear and partly in the nervous system. The conductive part of the loss seems to clear up as the flu goes away, but some patients have been left with a severe, nerve damage type of hearing loss, even after they are back on their feet and feel well. These patients also have very poor discrimination, which means that they have trouble understanding even with amplification. Not everyone who got the flu last winter experienced these symptoms, but it was not a flu to take lightly.

Do some googling for 'flu and hearing loss' or something

When i had a flu-type bug i rememberd my hearing was a bit screwed. I wouldn't be too concerned about it. But go and visit your doctor when they're next open or something.

go get an homeopathic remedy called " Ferrum Phosphoricum" 30c or 30 x and take it twice a day for three days. That's what I do to get rid of ear infections.
