At an old job I used to listen to music through one earbud. One day I could barely hear anything out of it and I was cleaning wax routinely. Turns out it was totally clogged and got it all flushed out.

It could be worth checking that out, dropping the volume a little, and maybe trying on-ear headphones.

Alternatively, I play sleep sounds out of my phone speaker and set a 2 hour timer on them.

This happened to me too- scared that I was losing my hearing... long periods of earbud use forced my earwax into a cone that looked pretty much like an earplug. My doc pulled it out in one lump and my hearing was back.
