Partial loss of hearing in right ear
Hi I am a veteran with mild hearing damage and tendinitis. I was sitting on my couch watching TV at a low volume. In my right ear I heard what sounded like a large gust of wind or industrial fan followed by a loud short burst of ringing. My hearing in my right ear now seems to be about halved with muffling almost as though I am listening through a pillow.
I called the VA call a nurse line and she recommend that "I chew gum or something..." any answers?

Please get an Audiometry and Tympanometry done by a good Audiologist if the situation does not resolve by chewing gum as advised by your nurse!
