Last Thursday I noticed that I was losing hearing in my RH ear. While exiting the pool on Wednesday I attempted to clear some water out of my ear with my finger which only served to drive it further inside. Anyhow, I can still hear but the level of hearing is diminished. There is no pain so I decided to use some swimmer's ear eardrops (Rubbing Alcohol in a bottle). How long should I wait before I go to an MD? Wait for pain? Until Thursday?

Probably wax in the ear canal--you can try the over the counter drops to soften it up but don't try to remove it yourself (see a professional).
