Doctor? Not unless you want to make sure your ear isn’t damaged, or get professional medical advice if it is damaged.

I know an audiologist is being recommended here, but honestly, see an ENT if you can. Audiologists are very knowledgeable about their field, but an ENT is a physician (medical doctor) who can diagnose, treat, or operate on your ears (among other things). An audiologist is a hearing specialist who can help you with devices to correct hearing loss. Both are called “doctor,” but they serve different (though related) functions. If you can’t see an ENT, I would start with your primary care doctor.
