Go to urgent care or your Dr's if its not getting better.

Go see an ENT or a hearing aid specialist. They are open on the weekends. Try hearing aids!!!

First thing to do: not panic.

Second thing to do: keep an eye on it. If it doesn't resolve after 24 hours, go to A&E (like @Strawberryblonde said).

Couple of years ago I went (practically) deaf in my left ear for several hours. Thing had rectified itself by the next day.

Let me know tomorrow how much the hearing aids helped. @SarahMLFlemmer. Don't wait any longer.

Whenever I have a loud exposure my tinnitus gets louder, my ear pain increases and sometimes the ear feels full or dull like mild hearing loss. Then I go back to baseline. Used to take days, now it takes hours.

Ultimately you need to listen to your body and if you think its a code red situation then by all means go seek medical advice. If you have a major exposure (gun discharge, loud close fireworks, etc) and then experience hearing loss then definitely go see a doctor quickly because early intervention matters.

@GeorgeLG I don't know if it's a "code red" or if it's "normal" with tinnitus. ={ I don't think I was exposed to anything too loud, maybe a vacuum or blow dryer. If it is hearing loss, it's mild. And my right side of my head feels strange, kinda shaky inside, maybe pressure? It's hard to explain. I probably should make an emergency ENT appointment just to be safe rather than sorry, huh?
