Hello Respected Dr. I was boxing with my
friends for the first time and accidentally
one of my friends punch strongly landed
exactly on my right ear l was not able to hear
any sound through my right ear. I had a lot of
pain in my right ear the night I tried to sleep
but wasn't able to, the next day the pain
diminishes and I start hearing sound in my
affected ear but it was very low compared to
my left healthy ear so as I my ear was
healing I thought l do not need to visit a
doctor for this case. But after 4 days the
sound quality remains low and is not
improving. I blew out air by pinching my nose
and I noticed that the air passed out from my
right affected ear whereas the air got
blocked in my left healthy ear. Please help.
Thank you.

You might be having traumatic perforation of the tympanic membrane. Usually it closes spontaneously within few weeks but you have to keep you ear dry and don't use any ear buds.
