Most are better in 1-2 weeks. Ask the Dr who has looked at you and your ear. We have not.

I am sorry the doctors at the hospital did not give you better instruction, however if you are experiencing a sudden loss of hearing you really need to be examined by and ear/nose and throat specialist and possibly and audiologist, so that you can have a clear diagnosis of what is causing the problem and how best to treat it. Until then it is hard to estimate how long the condition will last.

My ear has been clogged with wax for days. I had this issue once & had the doc flush it out. I was told to try (extra virgin) olive oil for a few days before going in, but after trying it I have ringing in my ear an hour later. Do I try again?
