ok well about two days ago i was playing rugby, and well during one of the games i was hit really hard in the left side of my head right around my ear and well now for the past day in my left ear. so now in my left ear voices (and only voices are muffled like when i talk my voice sounds perfect but others voices are muffled) now sound muffled, and they also have a higher pitched sound to them, (the muffled sound is like theres water in my ear or something), and i want to know whats wrong with it and what should i do about it?ok well about two days ago i was playing rugby, and well during one of the games i was hit really hard in the left side of my head right around my ear and well now for the past day in my left ear. so now in my left ear voices (and only voices are muffled like when i talk my voice sounds perfect but others voices are muffled) now sound muffled, and they also have a higher pitched sound to them, (the muffled sound is like theres water in my ear or something), and i want to know whats wrong with it and what should i do about it?

You definitely injured you ear drum. I'm no doctor but you don't even need direct contact with the ear to damage it. The pressure alone from the hit can perforate the ear drum. Best thing you can do is see a doctor. Do it ASAP as it might get worse than it has too. You might be permanent damage if left untreated.

Does it hurt? Sounds to me like a perforated eardrum, but I would get to a doctor and have it checked out

You possibly temporarily injured your eardrum

dont worry bro i shot a .44 mag without ear protection(i know, i know) my left ear was sooo muffled for like 3 months but it healed. stay away from loud noises really. im pretty sure you didnt damage it like i did and it healed
