Possible: Even young people can go deaf , but not common , see your doctor for examination and for hearing test.

Hearing loss?: It's hard to know whether you have a hearing loss without an audiology (hearing) test. This will answer your questions about your hearing. I'm not sure exactly how you used the water to clean your ears -- but if concerned about damage, you could see an ENT physician. Or, you could even start with your family doctor. Certainly a psychiatrist can help you with associated anxiety.

See a doctor: You should have your ears checked by a physician and avoid getting water until you do so. If you are forced water into your ears with a syringe or wet q-tip then you could have damaged your eardrum. You can also get a hearing test done to see if you do have hearing damage. In the meantime, ask for a referral to a mental health specialist to be treated for anxiety. Med treatment can help.

GET HELP: Severe anxiety attacks are best handled with the help of a psychiatrist who can provide meds and psychotherapy - and who has a medical background. Not clear if the ears are a physical or psychological problem. Start with a psychiatrist and possibly then an otolaryngologist. Start now.
