First thing is first. Im 18 years old. I listen to loud music on occasion but not often.

About 2 weeks ago my right ear was muffled. I could barley hear out of it. And it never went away and actually its in both ears now for about a week. And it seems to be getting worse. I don't want to go deaf or anything so anyone have any advice.

Im starting to think sinus infection cause I have a thick yellow mucus stuck in my throat and it has the consistency of glue. Im coughing a lot and every now and then it will come up. I can't laugh without having to cough and its really aggravating. Also I seem to have pressure around my eyes.

My nose is very clear at the time being. Which is unusual cause I have bad allergies usually.

I plan on going to the doctor tomorrow but does anyone have an idea of what this could be so I'm not so worried about it tonight.

It definitely sounds like a sinus infection. I doubt you are going deaf, but I'm glad to hear you are going to the doctor. That's the first thing to do. Good luck.
