PLEASE HELP! F'd up my hearing

I was trying to scratch my throat, so I went online & they suggested that I use a q tip in my ear canal. I know this is extremely idiotic NOW but I don't use q tips like that I didn't know. So after I got done using the q tip to scratch my throat, my ear did hurt when I cleared my throat or coughed or something but my ear now seems a lot more clearer but way too clear to the point where I can hear everything & my other ear sounds normal. How can I get my ears back to normal where they both sound the same? 😩 Should I put the q tip in my other ear to try to even it out? Like my normal sounding ear sounds muffled now because my other ear sounds super.l clear!
