Brief Answer:
Please consult ENT specialist urgently and get ear examined

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. Severe pain in ear after a slap is a concern. Please consult the ENT surgeon immediately and get your left ear examined using the otoscope. It is important to know if you suffered any trauma to the ear drum leading to rupture and whether that is the reason your hearing is impaired.

2. Please do not worry as most eardrum rupture will heal with time if it is small. Larger ear drum injury might require patch repair.

3. Your doctor will also give you pain relief and if required then antibiotics. Please go to your doctor immediately.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
