What Does Recurring Buzzing Sound In Ears After Being Hit On Ear Suggest?

I was at a volleyball tournament yesterday and when I went for a ball I slammed into one of my teammates. I hit the side of my head and my right ear. At first my ear hurt very very badly but soon after the pain went away and it sounded like I was underwater. Every sound, especially the sound of yelling or a whistle blowing, I was extremely sensitive to. There was no blood but it kept feeling like it was going to start bleeding. After a while the weird underwater sound began to slowly show up in my left ear. Now, my ears still feel weird and my hearing is a little off, but the underwater sound is gone. There s almost like a buzzing every once in awhile, especially when I hear a loud sound. It doesn t hurt anymore so I don t think I ruptured my ear drum or anything like that but I m not sure.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The abnormal sounds are tinnitus. Tinnitus can occur due to various causes including trauma.

It is possible that it may resolve on its own but it would be best to see your doctor for an assessment so that the ear can be checked.

I hope this helps
