Answer 1

I'm an Audiologist

There are MANY potential causes of sudden hearing loss, from something as simple and common as excessive ear wax; to infections in the outer, middle or inner ear; to neurological disorders. Some can result in PERMANENT hearing loss.

So I recommend going to get it checked ASAP, because the sooner you get an accurate diagnosis, the sooner you get treatment; and the sooner you get treatment, the better your chances of recovery.

Answer 2

I used to get that when I was younger and my daughter (15) just had that this summer.

If you have some type of virus it could be causing it, such as a sinus infection, tonsolitis, or a cold. You may or may not also have an ear infection. I wouldn't wait until Tues if I were you because it's probably very uncomfortable and if you do have an ear infection it could start to hurt. So yes, go to the emergency room or the walk-in clinic if one is going to be open tomorrow.

Good luck. :o)

Answer 3

Your doctor or practitioner could help you more with that and they may also refer you to an specialist to get that checked out how serious it could be? If you are really worried then go to the walk in clinic or emergency and get that checked out.

I was just thinking a little more about your situation and I hope you get it checked out either way. It could be a build of wax in your ear drum or even when you take a bath water can plug up your ear.

That happens to me some times and my ear gets plugged up. Be careful of what you put in your ear to clean out the wax if you do use any thing. Q- tips are the best to use especially if you dampen them a bit before cleaning out your ears.

Right now go to the doctors just in case. Don't worry until you know it could be something serious. You don't want to get all worked up until you know for sure it's serious.

Answer 4

This does not sound like an emergency room visit, call your doctor and explain to him the problem you're having. If he/she feels you need to go to the emergency room then go other wise your insurance company may not pay for the visit. If you don't have a doctor go to an immediate care center they have long hours Monday - Sunday. good luck hopefully its just impacted ear wax.

Answer 5

See an ear doctor, but first make your honey/mom look inside your ears for any type of bugs. My brother had a dead roach in his ear, and the doctor gave him antibiotic to kill the germs. Your ears maybe infected from dirt, insects, viruses or excess wax..etc. See your general doctor practioner. Don't waste money on the emergency unless you can afford the bills.

Answer 6

if you had a bad cold then you probably have a ear infection. see your doctor and he might prescribe you with some antibiotic.depending on how worse it is, you might have to take biaxin -XL 500mg 2tablets a day plus some Tylenol no.3 ,if you encounter any sort of pain in your ear.

Answer 7

You may have an ear infection. Should see the doctor to find out for sure and get medication for it.

Answer 8

Please go to the emergency room. It may be something as simple as a middle ear infection ( they can make you not hear out of one/both ears) or it can be something more seriouse. Either way, you need to go get checked out dude.

Answer 9

Try and put a Cotton ball in it then go to the emergency room.
