Weird Feeling In Ears, Difficulty In Hearing Post Flu Shot, Test Showed Hearing Loss. Thoughts?

Last year I got my flu shot around 2:30 pm. Before my shift was over, my ears started to feel funny. The next day my ears echoed. If someone was in front of me talking and the TV was on, I had a hard time hearing them. I went to the doctor. They did a hearing test which showed hearing loss . I went to the ENT and he found nothing. Both denied it was from the flu vaccine . I have never had troubles with my ears. What are your thoughts? This echoing lasted about three months.

This hard of hearing and flu shot are never interrelated. But, they seem to be incidental. May be due to the blockage of Eustachian tube-which connects ear and nose, your ears may have got blocked.
I hope you are cured of the echoing.
