Yikes! Good news is that antibiotics will likely knock that down quickly and the inflammation will go down. I had an ear infection a couple years ago. Antibiotics fixed it quickly, but no music enjoyment for over a month after that.
Thanks yall. I think I'm lucky, my hearing seems fine aside from the crickets - just a painful lurch with any air pressure changes. Probably got it as a result of flipping my hair back in the shower and shooting water straight in.
I was worried it would be middle or inner, where the damage tends to happen. All I can say now is when this clears I'm sure my headphone setup will be mindblowing. :D
It's a lot better than before thanks to the antibiotics - not much pain now, though my ears will apparently still ring louder for quite a while after loud noises. Shouldn't have cheated with the music last night! Still gotta let it heal.
