Increased Tinnitus from Slap on the Ear

[nomoredreaming]

So a week ago me and my friends were play fighting, she slapped me around the ear (wasn't even that hard) but as soon as she did it my hearing went, I could barely hear out of it, I went to the doctor, he said it looks swollen and gave me some drops, but there's been no improvement and my tinnitus is screaming, now I can hear it over everything, will my hearing come back?

It's made me so depressed.

Only time will tell. Protect your hearing to increase your chances of recovery.
Good luck!

I had this happen a while ago. My T increased for about a week but eventually went back to baseline. Maybe give it some time to heal.

Heal? I dont think ears heal.

Heal? I dont think ears heal.

I am a little frustrated by your negative attitude on every post.

If the Dr said it looks swollen, and the T has spiked following a slap, once the swelling goes down, the hearing should return and in turn the T spike should subside.

I understand you are having a tough time but i'm pretty sure if you changed your negative attitude that "things aren't going to get better" you might have an easier time dealing with your situation.

Still that same nothing has changed, my ear still has a hole in the ear drum, I still have T in my right ear which was my good ear till I was slap.
