Can having something stuck in your ear cause PERMANENT hearing loss?
Nadina asked:
I don’t mean ear wax, I mean an ear injury. Like falling out of a tree and getting a stick stuck in your ear or something. Would that sort of thing heal so you get your hearing back, or would that sort of injury causing hearing loss be permanent?

It depends on how bad the injury is. A mild injury could cause a temporary hearing loss, but a more severe injury could cause a permanent hearing loss. It is best to have a doctor look at the injury. The doctor would be able to tell how bad it is and whether the hearing loss is permanent or temporary. undir
