A member asked:

Ear infection ,buzzing noise in ear ,muffled hearing but no pain ,will my hearing get better..

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: But would need more info. You might benefit from use of a decongestant since it is possible there is fluid in the middle ear behind the eardrum which needs drainage. If this persists you might want to consult with an ENT doctor.
