A member asked:
My hearing becomes muffed after being in water. is it possible i've damaged my ear drum, or have an ear infection? hearing in other ear seems better.

If your hearing....: ....Is not muffled when you have not been in the water, then when it's muffled you have water in your ears. Tilt your head to the side, jump up and down, and the water will come out.
