Hi all

So 5 days ago I developed ear infection in both ears. Both of them had swallen up so much that they were shut and since then I've had very poor hearing. Ive been taking oral antibiotics and also antibiotic ear drops. Things have improved as the pains eased off a lot! And my ears have begun opening up again. However, my hearing hasnt improved all that much if at all. When I pull my ears back I can actually hear for awhile but when I let go they just go back to bad hearing.

Ive got a Drs appointment made for Monday but I am just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if so when did your hearing return? I'm so over it sad I'm a mother to a 3 year old who I cant have a normal conversation with

    I had ear infection, it took 4 weeks of antibiotics (ear drops) and over 2 weeks later my ear was unblocked.

    Maybe in your case it need a bit more time , if it will not imorove just go to the doctor.
