My ear popped loud, now I can only hear muffled sounds.

I've had strep throat for the past couple of days and yesterday my ear popped really loud with pain. Now my hearing is muffled in that ear with ringing and pain when I push down my tragus. What in the world could this be? Do I need to go to the doctor?

If you still having the ringing then you probably have hearing loss.  I have that ringing in my ear for a long time.  I have hearing loss.
