Don't want to upset you Chris, but mine lasted 5 weeks. I was deaf longer in one ear than the other, and really didn't appreciate how deaf people cope, and they have my utmost respect. It took about 4 weeks for the pain to actually go, and then the deafness another week. Even now, I'm terrified of getting water or a draught in my ears in case it should happen again. I do hope it clears up for you quicker than that xx
