Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding loss of hearing after being sloped on your left ear.

Here I would like to tell you that slap is the commonest cause of traumatic injury to ear drum. On the other hand our ear drum has got tremendous power of regeneration so spontaneous healing is observed most of the time if ear is not disturbed by putting any drop or hair pins etc.

Here my suggestions are-

1- Keep your ear clean and dry (Don't put any ear drop or oil etc)

2- Take Antihistaminic.

3- Take Anti inflammatory.

4- Steam inhalation.

Usually 2 to 3 weeks time is needed for spontaneous healing of ear drum and by following above suggestions most likely you will be benifitted otherwise consultation with ENT doctor will become necessary.

Regards.
