Hearing muffled, please answer.?

Ok, So on the 1st of August i went to the beach. It was really windy and for a few hours my left ear was facing the way the wind was blowing. On aug. 2nd i woke up and my ear was muffled. It is now the 3rd of Aug. and my hearing is still muffled. I can hear out of it excpet for very soft sound. Is thre a chance for permanent damage or am i getting too worked up about it? there is a slight ringing, but its a very soft bussing sound. I'm really worried, but will it get better soon? or will it take a while to heal, if it even does?! help?! thank you!

    your ear drum is probably dried out and it will take a while for the dry skin in your ear to heal. If you go to a doctors office they can wash your ear with water (sometimes used to take our large amounts of wax) which might help rehydrate the skin. If taking a shower and letting some water go in your ear doesn't help, you might want to see your doctor. Hope this helps :)
