I poked my right eardrum with a cu-tip 7 days ago and I can still feel it slightly numb. No fluid came out though, I didn't poke it that hard, but I still feel like I can't hear 100% out of that ear.

Is there anything a ENT doctor can do even if I do go? (i dont have insurance)

How long will it take for hearing to be back to 100%? Should I be worried about permanent damage
