A few days ago a firecracker was blown up near my head and i cannot hear out of my left ear. If someone is talking to me that ear just rings and i cannot really understand people.Will my hearing come back and how long will that take it has been 3 days?

that sounds serious, go to a doctor, maybe you blew your ear drum out or something

I would be getting it checked ASAP. Hearing loss does not always come back. When I was in the Marines, we had tanks go off next to us that left us ringing too. Now I have about a 20% hearing loss from it and that was about 20 years ago. You may have done some real damage to the ear drum so there is no harm in going in and having it examined.

You need to be seen by a Dr. there is no way for someone to diagnose a hearing problem via this forum. It could come back in the next few minutes or it may never come back. If you know who this person is take them to small claims court and have them pay your medical bills and if the Dr. says your hearing may never come back then its a much bigger law suit. And if you are the idiot who lit the firecracker then I feel for you.
