Ear wax can cause a temporary conductive loss of up to 55 dB. However, even with that level of loss, you should be able to hear someone yelling even on the side with the wax, with the other ear blocked off. You need to see an ENT to get the wax removed and then get an audiogram to find out if you have nerve-based hearing loss on that side as well.

Hi. I too am deaf in one ear (rubella) and I have the opposite! My right ear (the one that works) is the one with more wax, so I'm not much help, sorry.

I don't know, but I have the same problem. The healthy one has more wax than the deaf one...

Your ear could be blocked with ear wax.

Have you had your ears examined?
I presume you have had both ears syringed? ear-wax can really clogg up and cause hearing loss so it might be worth getting checked out.
