On top of everything else I have been half deaf since February. NHS are postponing appointments till next January so I thought I’d go private.

I've seen a few people with the same problem lately, think its a symptom of whatever bug is going around, at least with them is appeared to be a pressure issue. Try pinching your nose then breath though as if you are blowing it (but not too hard). After that try swallowing, if you have a drink handy that seems to help. 
Life is absurd and sometimes you need a short angry agent of chaos to make things right.

That's just stupid but probably better/less worse to be half deaf than stupid like they are
Well, whatever, nevermind

Got an antibiotic resistant inner ear infection in both ears. GP eventually referred me to ENT who are talking about doing a skin graft!!
