Yesterday, while in a metal storage area, a rather large balloon popped in my face. Immediately, my hearing was messed up. Everything I hear sounds like it is underwater and when I speak, it sounds like my voice is coming from somewhere else. I am on day 2 of this. Any idea what is wrong? What can be done to fix it? Did I damage my ears forever? Is it TINNITUS? I'm really scared because I rely on my hearing to work.
