Last winter I had a very bad cold/sore throat thing and it hung on for a long time. My ears were hurting.. everything!! Then one day I was very dizzy and felt like my equilibrium was off, so I went to the Dr. and found out that my estuation tube in my right ear had collapsed!!! Ever since then, my right ear pops, and feels like it's blocked up, and I can't hear very well out of it.

Let us know how your hearing test went!
