Temporary hearing loss due to gummings in ear?

Hello my hearing in both ears used to be perfect. But a lot of wax used to build up in my right ear more than my left. Swimming a lot used to make the smell distgusting and embarring. So I used to clear them out with cotton buds. Parts of cotton etc would come off the bud and remain in right my ear, this must have built up over time. And with constant cleaning them out my Doctor said there's a lot of gummings deep in the ear c & there's something behind the ear drum. I warefereeded to an ENT Doctor & a hearing test was verconcerningng on the right ear compared to the left. He also commented that I was reacting to the tuning fork abnormally. I am to go back to have my ear looked under a microscope and be suctioned. After all the gummings is cleared will my ear be back to normal it has been around 6 months or more I've had left this problem. My question is what could be the outcome once the stuff is cleared & could It be more than I think
