For the past 2 weeks I have been having what feels like fullness in my ears, with everything sounding a bit off (softer) than usual. I went to the dr. who said I didn't have any wax in my ears but asked if I've had any runny nose, congestion etc.

I told slightly yes, he checked my throat and said "I was busy"? w/e that means, and said he thinks I have fluid in my middle ears due to allergies. Is it normal with this diagnosis to feel like hearing is a little harder (conversations in busy rooms etc.)? At the time I had a "Pure Threshold, audiometry" test which they said was perfect although it only played like 4-8 tones. Thanks for your help!
