Ive had this in the past,it went after about a year, now im the opposite,i could hear i pin drop!
And bass sounds are exaggerated..
I thought it was an ear infection,i did try Grape fruit seed extact.
And also long wax candles that you put in your ear,and set on fire with a lighter.That pulled the
excess wax out of my ear ,and did help for a while.
If you use earplugs like I do, they can really get compacted.

its been driving me nuts for ages so i now have the motivation to try to resolve it... i want my head back!
My brain finally remembered something I had come across about ears, and after searching in various places I found it in Erica Verrillo's e-book on ME/CFS.
"The left ear, in particular, seems to be susceptible to itching, which, because of its location deep in the ear, cannot be relieved. The itch and occasional accompanying pain do not, in most cases, signal the presence of an ear infection.
The likeliest source of the itch is lymphatic fluid congestion. The lymph system drains at a point just above the left collar bone. If the fluid backs up, it can produce swelling along the left side of the neck, left-sided jaw and molar pain, and itching in the left ear. In some cases Candida overgrowth is also implicated..."
