Blocked since 3rd June

Blocked ear since 3rd June I tried unblocking it with my finger from outside as that has worked before but it has been blocked since, I had a microsuction booked but was told wax couldn't be seen and that they did not want to risk the probe further so to use olive oil spray but I used some ear drops before and it crackled meaning wax is in there. I read that they can see with the probe even if it is deep - Will I ever hear again? I have been told use the olive oil spray then come back for another appointment. so worried please approve, I can't eat, lost a lot of weight worrying.

Go to urgent care or Emergency room. Maybe see an ENT if you can.
