I have a Boo-Boo!! & It hurts!!!

So like I said on here yesterday or the day before, we went to the Movies. Well since that afternoon, my EAR has been KILLING me. I have been hearing "air" and "ringing" in it. I have been in a LOT of Pain. I have been like "off balance". I am just not having a good time with my EAR. I hate it. So this morning, I called the doctor and they said come in after school. SO I get there expecting like an ear drum popped or like infected or something like that.
NO---I HAVE NERVE DAMAGE!!! YEAH that's what I said, WHAT?? What does that mean? I told him about the movie being so LOUD. He said it was so loud that it damaged my nerves behind my ear. Thank God it is only one side. He doesn't know right now if it is permanent. He also is concerned about Hearing Loss. He has me going to an ENT specialist. So I have to call the ENT tomorrow and make an appointment with them. The doctor gave me a Shot right there in the office. It was like cortisone. He said it was an anti-inflammatory thing to help settle my nerves and hopefully gets to the one behind the ear because it REALLY hurts. THIS kind of scares me. I have never had Ear problems before. And I don't like it. It is such a small area to mess with and I don't want it to get worse.
So I do not know if this is serious, it could be just temporary, it could just be "shaken up" and once it settles down it will all be back to normal. HOPEFULLY!!!

WE shall see. I will keep you all posted!!!
