You should see your doctor again. This time, you will need a course of antibiotic, I predict.

I have a ruptured eardrum. (happened 8 days ago) Its healing and the pain is gone but my hearing is still very muffled and ringing. Should I be trying to avoid exposing my ear to sound?

Have small ruptured eardrum, ENT put me on antibiotic and drops and to come back in 2wks. After a week of meds still feels like water trapped in ear and hearing muffled. Anything I can do to relieve the water trapped feeling or just wait another wee?

Used 3% concentrated perox in ear, doc said impacted wax on eardrum and gave me prescription eardrops for 4 days. How long before muffled hearing gone?
