Hearing impairment can have multiple reasons from trivial issue like wax impaction to more complex problem like weakness of the inner ear or hearing nerve. The duration of hearing impairment is important. If it's for 2-3 days and is of Sensorineural type you need prompt effective treatment which can completely recover your hearing.
