What Causes Ear Pain And Altered Hearing?
My left ear is hurting, and I woke up this morning and everyone sounded robotic and like they were putting there voice through a fan. Its only my left ear, and it doesn't hurt on the right side. I cleaned my ears out last night with a cue tip, what does this mean?
