I appreciate all of the advice.
I made an appointment with an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist. Downside is that he couldn't get me in until April 10. ..beggars can't be choosers I suppose.
This morning, the muffled sensation was still there. The best way I can describe it is maybe, water in my ear? Or the feeling you get, just prior to yawning and popping your ears. As the day moves forward, the sensation seems to be lessening, that or I am just getting accustomed to it.
The strange thing is, if I rub the outside of my ear, it kind of 'pops' open for a second, then if I swallow or yawn, it goes muffled again.
I'm keeping optimistic.
I'm still in somewhat of a shock that ONE shot could cause this much damage. How in the world to folks hunt with a handgun? As I mentioned, I have shot hundreds of critters with a high powered rifle, without so much as a mild ringing following the shot, and I always use plugs at the bench. I have forgotten to put them in once or twice before with a high powered rifle, sure my ears rang for a few minutes, but nothing like this.
Have you contacted your GP/PCP? I wouldn't wait until the 10th to see someone.
