ON DECEMBER 23RD, MY EAR STARTED HURTING, I GOT A SMALL HARD GROWTH IN MY EAR THAT WAS VERY PAINFUL TO TOUCH. I GOT SOME HEARING LOSS IN MY LEFT EAR, AND IT HURT TO CHEW AND SWALLOW.
NOW TODAY, MY EAR DOES NOT HURT, AND I CAN USUALLY CHEW AND SWALLOW. BUT, I STILL HAVE HEARING LOSS IN MY LEFT EAR. I HAVE TRIED EARDROPS, AND POPPING MY EAR/YAWNING.
1- IS THAS SWIMMER'S EAR OR SOMETHING ELSE {I SWIM A LOT}
2- HOW CAN I RELIEVE THE HEARING LOSS, I HAVE DRIED BASIC EARDROPS, BUT THEY DO NOT REALLY HELP

You really need to see a doctor. Hearing loss is serious. You may need antibiotics.

First chance you get contact your Doctor, and watch for fever. I was thinking being that you mention swimmers ear then I thought may be you may have hit the water a little to hard w/force and could have busted your ear drum. But to be safe than sorry don't wait around consult a physician ASAP

For ear infections I use garlic soaked in water, strain off the garlic and put a few drops of the water in your ear. The garlic oil is a natural infection fighter. It will soak right through the skin and fight the infection. Swimmers are most often bothered with ear infections.
