Hearing loss

Question

Hearing loss

Asked for Female, 23 Years

I went on a plane about 3 weeks ago and had severe pain in my right ear and ever since I've lost most of my hearing in my ear and hear a constant ringing. I went to urgent care and they said there was fluid in it so they gave me allergy medicine to try and dry that up, I've been taking it close to 10 days and still have pressure and no hearing and loud ringing, the soonest I can see a doctor is a few weeks out, should I be concerned about permanent hearing loss?
