What Causes Impaired Hearing Suddenly?
woke up this morning with impaired hearing, I am partially deaf, so as you can image quite scary. Very muffled noise. Went to the doctor who looked in my ear and said I had a dull Ear Drum?? Not sure what that meant. She then went on to say that I might have a blood clot in the brain!!! Is this possible?

Sudden hearing loss/ hearing impairment is due to no known cause. But it will come to near normal hearing within 10-15 days with proper medicines through an ENT. All the best.
