Cant hear! Help!

2018-05-09 12:47:05
I have not been able to hear out of left ear for 2 days. I have had problems in the past with my hearing. I have ear tubes in both ears four times and I was hard of hearing for a year when I was 3-4. It was very sudden. My ear will sometimes hurt and it is very muffled. I can hear however it is very very muffled and I cant hear exactly what people are saying.

You seem to be suffering from eustachian tube dysfunction which usually occurs secondary to common cold or it may be sudden sensorineural hearing loss which needs urgent treatment. You should get a audiogram and tympanogram for confirmation of diagnosis
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
