Did I just get hearing damage?

So about a few days ago my only pair of ear buds broke and and only worked on the left side. So I went ahead and purchased a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M30's and a pair of cheap Panasonic Earbuds that were scheduled to arrive in 3 days (Friday the 14th to be exact). In those three days I used the broken ear buds only in my left ear and listen to music and videos at a reasonable volume, but I did accidentally fall asleep while listening to a podcast.

 

When the headphones and earbuds arrived I tried them out immediately and both of them where louder in my right ear, I tested them on my phone, netbook, and desktop and they all had the same result.  

 

Now if I do have hearing damage I think it might be from falling a sleep with the podcast on in one ear, but the thing is I have listen to a podcast and have fallen asleep before and never got the kind of affect.

 

What do you guys think?  Do you think I've gotten some hearing damage?  I am going to try to go to a free clinic anyways if the problem still occurs, but I would like to hear your guys opinion on this matter.

Your left ear is used to louder volume, the best way to fix that is listen to music that is quiet in volume for a few days, and stay away from loud things for a while. I've had that happen before, and listening to music that is quiet for a while.

I usually wear my headphones with one side on my left ear and the other side open. I do notice my right ear is a bit more sensitive to sounds than my left, but that usually subsides within a day or so, depending on how long I'm at my computer.

 

I wouldn't worry about it unless you really do think something is wrong.

I usually watch the wan show with one ear bud(when in bed) and other podcasts and i get the same effect. My right speaker on my custom one pros sounds a little louder. I guess time will eventually fix it.

I clean my ears regularly (maybe too much), so earwax is definitely not the issue.  And I hope it clears up in a few days  :(

I just wanted other people experience with this kind of affect, If the problem persists I was planning on visiting a clinic no matter what.

I guess if I listen to music only in my left ear for 3 days straight it will take more than a day for it to regulate.  I guess time will only tell.

Probably some earwax or something, could also be a little numb or something because you slept on it

if you'd have hearing damage you'd hear a ringing or buzzing sound in your ear.

But just to be sure, go see a docter.

you just upset the balance, your hearing should stabilise in days or weeks, but if you are worried go see a doctor for proper advice.
