A couple of days ago I woke up with one ear aching and could hear about 50% of what I could normally hear. I tried squirting it with hot water a couple of times and tried hot oil but nothing helped at all. Now when I woke up today both of my ears feel the same - blocked and painful. I was wondering if it might not even be wax it might be an infection or something. Also at night time all I can hear is my heartbeat echoing in my ears really loudly. And when I talk I can hear my voice really loudly. I would love some help/advice because it is very very annoying!!

the hot water was a bad idea,you have made it worse,go to your doctors and have your ears looked at,may just be excess wax.it can be removed in just a few seconds,i had it done twice,its great afterwards you can hear a pin drop miles away!

Sound's like your ear's are blocked with a wax ball. I've had that in one ear, it can be quite pain full. I had to fill my ears with a little olive oil, put in cotton wool. leave it for 24 hours I think, then get them syringed by a nurse. Ask your Doctor about this and he should arrange it with the nurse.
Hope this is help full. Happy new year.

I Have had the same problem for about 5 weeks I have been to the doctor 3 times, and I have had several different meds she is convinced it is viral and it has to run its course because none of the meds worked.

get to your doctors, as there is a nasty virus about, and it does effect the ears.
my Tim had it and penicillin cured him.

It could be allergies or sinusitis/sinus infection.
