Left ear blocked like you are on high altitudes

My left ear suddenly blocked like you are on high altitudes/during flight takes off. Also, I constantly hear subtle ringing or buzzing sensation in my left ear. Sometimes when it tilt my head, it goes away but just for few seconds only. I tried with valsalva method for a few times, but it didn’t work. It’s been almost a month since it first started. Appreciate if any of you could advise me on this. Thanks!
