Muffled hearing/hearing loss after infection, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible fluid: If you have muffled hearing after an infection, assuming you have had an infection, the fluid in the middle ear is the most likely cause of the muffled hearing. This may resolve without any treatment. However, if the hearing loss persists, you must see and ENT doctor.
