I can't hear out of my ear how do I sort it?

Hi, I had a really itchy ear just now, and I put my finger in to itch it, and now it feels really funny like, i can still hear but it feels muffled like somethings in it xD What do you think it is, and how can i get my ear back to normal lol?

Update:

No I dont have an infection basically it was this:

Ear fine.

In goes finger.

Finger out.

Ear muffled. I guess I just squeezed some wax down heh? Does putting hot water and sitting with your ear to the ceiling help lol?

Update 2:

Note: That method does not work, and is very messy. I guess i'll just sleep on that side of my face then...

    You might have an ear infection. It sounds to me like you have some mucous clogging your ear. You should see a doctor and get some medication. Don't neglect your ears they are very sensitive!!

    Itchy ears are usually indicative of allergies.

    When you put your finger in your ear you probably did push some wax down.

    Try taking a capful of Hydrogen Peroxide & turn your ear to ceiling & slowly fill your ear. It will feel & sound weird because it bubbles, but it does work.

    If the itching continues try taking an antihistamine & see if that helps.

    Good luck
