you can ose the ability to hear in that ear
You go deaf.
Ear infections can cause loss of hearing.
f you have had an ear infection for a week and now sound is muffled, it is best that you go see your doctor. Antibiotics are needed to clear up the infection before more permanent damage is done.
A child wakes up one morning, cross eyed. She has had an ear infection...could the ear infection cause this to happen to her eyes?
Well it could mean you just have water in your ear sometimes referred to as swimmers ear but, this usually happens when you are in the water a lot. For instance, spending a lot of time at the beach or the pool. It could also mean you have an ear infection. You should see a doctor to see if you need antibiotics. If you have had a sinus infection or an ear infection, it can cause fluid to build up behind the ear drum (the inner ear). Antibiotics will usually clear it up, but there are times when it doesn't. In that situation, your ENT (ear, nose and throat doctor) will put tubes or 'buttons' in the ear to allow the fluid to drain. This is much more common in children, but also occurs in adults, too, even people in their 50's and older, even if they've never had tubes in their ear before.
Ears usually plug up with wax and you can buy an over the counter oil to try to clear them. If you have had a cold recently, then you should check in with a doctor to see if you need antibiotics for an ear infection.

Examine your dogs ear. If there is a waxy substance, clean the ear with water and cotton wool twice a day. If it doesn't clear up in 7 days, contact your Vet. If the ear smells make a vet appointment as its a infection.
Either white vinegar or isopropyl alcohol are good for preventing otitis media ("swimmer's ear"), but once you have the infection, you are going to need topical antibiotics by prescription to clear it up. Given how painful this infection is, it makes sense for you to see your health care provider as soon as possible.
Something to do with your inner ear, such as swimmer's ear, or an inner ear infection. Antibiotics and ear drops will clear it up.
Ear-ache due to infection around the ear-drum: Acute infection of the middle ear, Acute Otitis Media (AOM). And, possibly the most common ear complaint, a build up of ear-wax causing temporary deafness.
