Muffled Hearing In Left Ear.
by treexxlover, Dec 16, 2007 03:26PM
I've had a small cold for the past week. Nothing big, just a little congestion. I went to sleep one night and I when I woke up I felt like my ears were clogged. So I went into the bathroom and swiped them out with a q-tip. My right ear was fine after that but my left ear still felt clogged. My mom and sister think it's because I listen to loud music with my headphones. But I don't think that's it. There's no pain, it's just annoying. What could it be?

I suspect you have a conductive loss due to a middle ear infection/fluid etc.
I do not suspect a noise induced Sensory loss, becuase it would be in both ears rather than one. Your headphones produce the same amount of power to each ear. So if one ear was damaged due to noise exposure, the other would be too.
But a conductive loss can, and often do occur in one ear. Conductive losses are rarely permanent, and I doubt will be in your case.
You need to visit with an ENT that staffs an audiologist. The audiologist will be able to perform some diagnostic tests that will allow a diagnossis to be made, and a treatment plan.
good luck
I'm only 29 and woke up Saturday morning and hearing in my left ear is muffled.. not to mentin the ringing I keep hearing :(, no pain or anything either so I know it's not an infection and there's nothing clogged in there according to the doc.
Do the meds help you any bmw550istyle? I'm secheduling an appt. with an ENT in next week.
I am 31 and had my stroke 5 years ago. I've recently experienced some strange tingly feelings in my left ear that I havent' experinenced since my stroke and I'm curious to know what is going on. I need to get my hearing back so I can continue persuing my singing career.
