? treated ?: A middle ear infection is can reduce hearing in the affected ear by 40-50% for a period of weeks.It can also cause significant pain. Ibuprofen in appropriate doses can help the pain.Some have success with a heating pad applied to the head on the affected side. This confused the sensory nerves who send both heat and pain messages to the brain and this sometimes diminishes pain.
