A member asked:
Why is my hearing muffled in right ear after ear infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: During any ear infection there is a temporary reduction in hearing due to the muck in the middle ear for up to 2-4 wks.Most adults will improve within a week and may return to normal in 2 wks, some may take 3-4 wks.Infants and kids tend to take longer.
