Deaf in One Ear, Now Crackling and Echoing - Help!

my bad, just saw that you saw a doctor. maybe see a specialist?

this is exactly what i deal with, even down to it being on the left side and my deafness was caused by a gunshot as well. i also have ménière's disease though, so that's what part of what causes my symptoms. it sounds like your eardrum is just super damaged though, have you ever gotten it checked out professionally?

it was ear drum damage from a gunshot

Hey, I have no clue about it… Do you know what caused your deafness?
