I woke up this morning to ear pain & some minor discomfort. I figured it was nothing to worry about, so I showered & went to work.

During the course of the day, the pain & pressure got worse to the point where I couldn't hear anything. I cleaned out my ear thinking it was wax build up or something--but to my surprise, very little wax.

As I sit here typing this, I only have hearing in one ear, lots of pressure in the other & it's extremely painful when I bite down on/move my jaw. I've tried yawning/popping my ears--but to no avail it doesn't relieve the pressure.

The inside of my ear feels a little swollen & painful to the touch...Any suggestions as to what it might be?
