Question below, please answer serioulsly because im worried?

About 1 year ago I was coming from a flight from utah back to memphis. As I got off the plane for some reason I never unpopped my stuffed ears. My uncle picked me up from airport and drove for 2 hours back home..I barely heard the music from his radio. I dont know why i didnt unclog them. Anyways I eventually staring hearing clearly again but I dont remember specifically unclogging them. Ive been hearing fine but I think its a slight difference or maybe nothings wrong im just overthinking..My question is CAN YOU LOSE A LITTLE OF YOUR HEARING IF YOU NEVER UNPOP YOUR EARS AFTER A FLIGHT??

    No- the popping is from the pressure difference. That will eventually go away, whether you hear any popping or not. You CAN lose hearing from loud noises, which can include airline travel- but it's unlikely that you lost hearing from one trip. Was it raining when you landed? It always seems to be raining when I land in Memphis! High humidity would affect how long it took your ears to clear up.
