How Can Partial Hearing Loss Be Treated?
I was in a MVA last week. Airbag deployed, since then sound to my left ear is distorted, like when you raise the volume too high and the speaker distorts the sound. Was this caused by the air bag and will it return to normal. Its been about 5 days. After the accident upon examination my ear looked fine to the examining MD.

Hello,
You may be developed injury to tympanic membrane or ossicular chain. The possibility of trauma-induced hearing damage. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Get it done pure tone audiometry, tympanogram and vestibular function tests. Then consult your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
