Noise is worse as well :(

Anything that might have caused it?

You need to look into emergency prednisone if it’s persisted.

It could be sudden sensorineural hearing loss which is likely to be reversible if you start treatment immediately

I was carrying out some ETD exercises last night, maybe that irritated the inflammation? Managed to pop my ear after a few hours; ringing has died down a bit :S Tapping the front of my ear is a bit like tapping a balloon - so I’m hoping it’s just unbalanced air pressure rather than SSHL.

I think my hearing has gone back to normal - I can hear the rustling of pages at arm’s length, for example. I’ll speak with my audiologist first thing.
