Well about a week ago I started to notice my ear was hurting. Since it wasent constant I really payed no attention to it, until Sunday. The pain started to become constant and my ear started hurting without being touched.
Since it was Sunday all the doctors offices were closed. I attempted to wait it out until Monday but the pain became so unbearable that I just decided to go to the emergency center to get it checked.
I was diagnosed with a severe ear infection. The center checked it out, put some fluid in my ear to numb the pain, and gave me some antibiotics to fight the infection, and up until today eveything was fine.
Today I woke up not able to hear anything out of my right ear. At first I thought this was normal, maybe something that would go away by the afternoon. Nope, it also started to ooze this light brown liquid. So now that the normal doctors office was open, I decided to go there just to make sure it was normal. It turns out that overnight the pressure caused by the infection was so great on the eardrum, that it caused it to rupture. Luckily the eardrum heals itself and I should have my hearing in my right ear back within 2 weeks.
The morale of this story you ask? If you think you may have an ear infection, don't wait it out. Trust me.
tl;dr- I temporarily lost hearing in my right ear due to an ear infection.
