What is wrong with my ear?!
Question: When something loud comes near my left ear, it makes this echo noise and it drives me crazy. It is way worse at night when I have been sleeping and get up to up my left earmy son. If he is crying and is anywhere close to my left ear it just makes this echoing noise that would drive anyone crazy.
Someone yelled at me really loud once when I was 19 and I remember my hearing going out for a second in that ear but it came back. If I turn the radio up to loud in my truck it does that same echoing thing. Also-I cannot sing very loud alons with the radio or it does that same echoing thing in the left ear.
(I am just trying to give you examples)
What could it be? I cannot afford to go see a ear doctor unless I can find someone cheap-I have no insurance
thanks

This is just a hypothetical suggestion but I think your inner ear has been damaged by that loud yelling at 19 years of age. Inside the ear are small hairs that move when sound enters your ear. I bet lots of them were destroyed when you were yelled at.
The echoing is probably a result of the destroyed inner ear micro-hairs. The small hairs that move when sound enters send pulses to the nervous system/the brain. The echoing is probably an error in the transmission somewhere in this stage...
All I could suggest is not encountering any loud, sudden noises. Loud noises are not good for the ears anyways since each time you're exposed to a loud noises, more of those small hairs die.
