It still sounds like you may have fluid behind the ear or meniere's disease. I would go to an ENT (Ear Nose and Throat) specialist. Maybe a CT scan will identify fluid behind the ear drum that visualization can't.
So ask your family Doc for a referral if he won't do further testing
good luck

Ear wax problem. Tell your doctor to clean your ear and prescribe some ear drops for you.
Ear drops (and any oily substance) will usually block the ear for a while (soaking the ear wax) and cause some pressure, but the ear will clears up soon.
Try yawning or submerge your head in a pool of water (the deeper the better) for a while.

Are you a swimmer or have you flown on a plane lately? Also check into TMJ. The jaw can cause the same problem. Check on the Internet. Good Luck
