WHY CAN'T I HEAR? Since yesterday I haven't been able to hear out of my right ear. I hear crackling.?

I cannot hear out of my right ear. I hear crackling when I swallow. I have no other symptoms. This all started yesterday when I woke up. Can someone tell me what they think this is or what I can do to treat it? PLEASE This is really annoying (not painful though).

    No, no one can diagnosis your ear problem over the net what the limited data given. I suggest you go to see your doctor. It may be a ruptured eardrum. It could be a physical barrier such as wax, or-and don't freak out-an insect. It could be a infection. I doubt it's an infection as it would probably hurt and you would be feeling bad. Have you been swimming lately. It could be swimmer's ear. A doctor can have a very quick look to see what is going on inside there.

    That happens to me a few times a year - it's VERY annoying. It might be a cold or fever, or you could have water in your ears (have you gone swimming recently?). Usually it goes away within a week though... I haven't had any serious problems 'caused by this ear "crackling."

    You probably have water in your ear. The best way to remove water from your ear is to put a dab of alcohol on a cotton ball and put it in your ear, leave it for a while and it will help the water evaporate. If not, you will have to see a doctor. Good Luck.....

    Its probably just clogged or infected. Maybe you got water or something in it...? Go and see a doctor if it bugs you for a long time. Its happened to me before though, and it went away after a few hours. but if its from yesterday, maybe you should go and see a doctor

    It may just be stress causing a buildup of pressure, but I'd advise asking a doctor.
