Right Ear Fullness & Sensitivity
The issue started after working outside for 2 days in higher than normal wind conditions and with headphones (not at a high volume). My right ear feels fuller then my left, similar to swimmer's ear and is slightly more sensitive to louder sounds. I do have hearing loss and tinnitus in my right ear which I'm aware of. My left ear is not affected. Also, when I push in my tragus and close off the ear canal, I get briefly disoriented but it does not last long. I've had this since Thursday Nov 30.

You seem to be suffering from eustachian tube dysfunction which usually occurs secondary to common cold. It usually resolves spontaneously after few days. You can use decongestant medicines for few days for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
