I had a ear infection 2 weeks ago why can't i hear yet ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fluid persists: The fluid debris of an ear infection will muffle the hearing and give you a feeling of fullness.It can persist from 3-6 weeks in some people. A return in pain or fever would suggest a recurrence.
