Ear Pain After Hearing Loud Noise, Diminished Hearing. What Is Going On?
Hi. I was taking a flying lesson the other day and the speakers in the helmet went full blast. My left ear really hurt and I took the helmet off. The hearing in both my ears was iminished. My left ear especially. My voice sounds funny when I talk and muffled. Also when I wistle it sounds off pictch and weird. I m 60 years old. What is going on? Did I rupture an eardrum or what. Thanks.
