Hi, I have tinnitus and I believe some hearing loss in my left ear. I saw my gp today who observed my left ear canal is pink and inflamed. He then suggested I get a spec savers hearing test and return to gp if my ear beings to itch or is in pain. I am concerned I’m being fobbed off here but I really don’t know what to do and if this is something to be worried about. I have noticed a recent decline in ability to follow conversations and everyone appears to mumble more frequently. Any advice please. Thank you.
