Water in my ears, and almost a year later i still can't hear?!


Question: Water in my ears, and almost a year later i still can't hear.?

back in feb when i was washing my hair, i got water in my ears and haven't been able to hear all that great since. yes i know i should have gone to a doctor a long time ago but i have the biggest fear of going to a doctor for some reason.
ever now and then i think my hearing is getting better but then i realize its not. will this eventually ever clear up or do i HAVE to go to an ENT.? and why has it been this long.? could it be possible that i have damaged my ear drum trying to get it out.?.?

Answers:
well I am no doctor but I can tell you it has happened to me. I was scubbadiving a few years ago and had the same problem with my left ear. I still have it and I can hardly hear out of it. I no the doctor can preform a surgery to get the water out. I t involves putting a tube in your ear for the fluid to drain. I don't believe it damages your drum or effects your hearing. I also had a cousin that had this problem when he was only three years old and had the surgery done and he hears fine now. Go to the doctor and at least here what they have to say. good luckHealth Question & Answer
