This is strange, but for the past couple of days, anytime I sleep, when I wake up I have a hard time hearing in my right ear. It happened to me yesterday when I took a nap, but it only lasted about 20 minutes then it was fine. This morning I woke up at 9:30am and it's now 11:00am and I still can't hear well. It's almost like that ear is under water. I've tried flushing it out and also cleaning it, but nothing is working. Is this a pregnancy thing because I've never heard of this. I don't ever get ear infections so if this is one I don't know how to tell. It doesn't hurt, it's just worrying me because I can hardly hear. It feels like it's plugged up with something. Anyone else ever had this or know what it could be? Thanks.

Wow! That's exactly what I've been feeling (left ear, though), and I'm not pregnant. It only happens to me once and awhile and I also get some ringing in my ear.

So...bumping you up...

Any input would be appreciated.
