“How long does hearing loss last after ear infection?”

If your child's hearing loss was the result of an ear infection, then as soon as the fluid resolves, hearing should be restored. However, just because your child has fluid in their middle ear doesn't mean it's an infected. What I'm saying is that your child may still have fluid but not infection, resulting in a hearing loss. If this occurs for a long period of time, your child's ENT may recommend P.E. (pressure equalization) tubes.

There is often fluid left in the ear after an infection, which can impede the hearing and be there for several days. I would check with your doctor to see if there is still fluid present.

It depends on the root cause of infection, whether its viral or some other etiology. That prognosis should come from your ENT specialist, audiologist and/or doctor. Especially since there are different types of hearing loss and without an audiogram to review, I cannot give you specific analysis of where she stands at this time.
