NSAIDs reduce pain, inflammation and swelling while helping the body return to a normal temperature. When the body is injured or ill, it releases an enzyme known as COX. NSAIDs help control two specific types of COX enzymes, COX-1 and COX-2.
If you have an outer ear infection or a middle ear infection, your ears may be filled with a fungal or bacterial infection. This will likely temporarily affect your hearing and may make your hearing sound muffled in the affected ear.
Why it happens: As you age â especially if you've been exposed to frequent loud noises â you might have presbycusis, a type of gradual hearing loss caused by the death of hair cells in the cochlea, in your inner ear. Those are the cells that translate sound vibrations into brain signals.
