After Been Slapped Ear Rang Loudly And Unable To Hear. Will My Hearing Sense Come Back?

Some girl slapped me and sound left my right ear. Why she slapped me, I am unsure.at first it rang loudly and I couldn't hear a thing. But it feels like the sound is slowly coming back. It sounds distorted and very unnatural though. It's not the first time this has happened. But it's the worst. I am a very fit person with very acute hearing. All my senses are beyond average standards, but will my hearing be okay? It's been about a half an hour since the random slap.

hello. it is likely that you have developed a perforation ( hole ) of your ear drum because of the slap. dont worry. your hearing will recover, generally the perforation heals within 2 months. keep the ear dry and if you develop a cold. seek treatment immediately. relax. thanks
