    Multiple blows to one side of the head causes the brain to "bounce" off the other side of your skull. You have upset or damaged the hearing mechanism in the other ear. It may be temporary, depending on how heavy those blows were or it could be long term if they were very forceful. If it continues for 2 weeks or more then see your doctor for advice.

    If you are a boxer you need to protect your head more. Constant heavy blows to the head can cause more permanent damage, and not only in your ears. Take care of yourself.
