Hello,
It may be due to noise induced hearing loss or noise induced trauma. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please get it done pure tone audiometry and tympanogram then you may come to know where is the problem. Use tablet Neurobion for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
