What Causes Muffled Hearing After Using Q Tip?
Hi, I was using a Qtip yesterday and I think I pushed it in to far. I don t think I ruptured my ear drum because it didn t hurt to bad but now my hearing is a little off. I can still hear out of the ear but it just sounds a little muffled. Is this something I should be worried about?

Hello
Yes i think you should be a bit concerned as you may have damaged your ear drum with the q tip!
Please meet your ent doctor for confirming this!
Please keep the ear dry and do not use any ear drops!
Thanks
