I touched the inside of my ear with a cotton swab and now my hearing is worse, is it serious?

It is important to not insert anything into your ear if you are experiencing hearing loss after accidentally touching the eardrum with a cotton swab. If the issue persists for more than a day, it is recommended to see a doctor for an evaluation and potential treatment. Avoid putting anything solid in your ear to prevent injury or wax compaction.
