    Ear started buzzing and now its all weird like I'm partially deaf or something. I tried the old hold you nose and blow trick but I nearly passed out, my nose started to bleed and I'm still deaf. So that was a no go.

    Anyone any other ideas ?

    Have you considered performing some old-fashioned home surgery?

    Horses get something similar; nosebleed, inner ear trouble.

    Do human beings have gutteral pouches?

    Something something gutteral pouch, if we do.

    Do you have a cold at the moment? Sometimes when sinuses get blocked it can make you slightly deaf.

    I suppose going to the doctor would be a ridiculous suggestion here...

    As a cause or potential cure?

    Its only the one ear. If I'm still deaf after the weekend I might pop in just in case.

    Could be (hopefully) just a build up of wax.

    I agree, there is a very very small chance its only ear wax, its far far more likely that the OP is terminally ill... poor man.

    Can't suggest medial procedure advice (board.ie rules) but an internet search might help. :)

    Getting a blocked ear syringed is great, you feel brilliant coming out of the doctors with your ear clear again.

    Oh dear lord, go to the doctor, it's very possible wax in the ear, but just go to the doctor, and stop asking AH, for medical advice, you will end up with a toe cut off, to sort out an ear problem. :)
