Answer 1

Answer 2

go 2 the doctor:-P

Answer 3

Did you sleep with your left ear down on the pillow? Junk from your sinuses could be clogging your ear, which then makes it hard to hear anything. (I have horrible allergies and this happens to me a lot.) Or you may have an ear infection. Before going to a doctor, try lying with your RIGHT ear down on a pillow, allowing the pressure from your left ear to subside. Then try some ear drops. If that doesn't work, make an appt. with a doctor! Good luck and feel better.

Answer 4

That happened to me and it was a wax plug had built up and I didnt know.  

It can be alot of different reasons.....were you swimming? water from swimming or even the shower can get in your ear canal and make it feel like you cant hear out of it...

do you have a sore throat?  your lymph nodes can swell and your ear can even get infected and show that symptom,

were you hit in the ear? Did you use a cue tip? Did you go to a concert or listen to your headphones with the music turned up high?  your ear drum can get torn or damaged.

Have you moved or gone on vacation?  The difference in altitude can affect your hearing.  

There are so many things that it could be, just go to the local clinic and have a nurse check for you.  

DO NOT stick anything in your ear...not your finger...not a cue tip ... nothing.  The only way to find out what is going on is to see a nurse or doctor.

good luck and dont panic, it is probably something minor.  watch this video an dlearn about how your ear works and what some other reasons hearing loss occurs are.    

Answer 5

Okay I have to stay something to Mrs. D about the information she gave...why on earth would you give a child, (yeah she is under 18) information about lung cancer, are you trying to scare her...geezzz

Now about your ear, tell your parents, and if its persists go see your doctor he is the only one that should be giving you medical advice. Could be lots of things, an infection, wax build up, anything. If that is your only symptom and you don't have headaches or pain with it then don't drive yourself crazy worrying about it. Hope you feel better soon.

Answer 6

You need to go to the Dr it could be just clogged up and they need to clean it out,It won't hurt.Please let your parents know this asap.
