My appointment with the ENT went well...they were able to remove the blockage (which was HUGE...she said that would not have come out with at home care and ear drops or with irrigation). It was painful getting it removed but I can hear again...yay...and even though it's sore I no longer feel like I'm being stabbed in the ear with a toothpick. I got some ear drops to help it heal because it's really inflamed but...oh my gosh...so much better already.

I think this means tomorrow I will look into finding a specialist to treat me for the kidney stones as I don't like the wait and see plan this doctor has for that. It's been 6 weeks already...at this point there should be something they can do or at least I will feel better knowing someone qualified is treating me so that if I do need intervention they will know the situation.

Thank you guys for listening and encouraging me to follow up and not just accept it.
