Dr. Thanks for sharing valuable information. What are the chances for recovery?

U r great

What a gentleman and how well presented, I just returned from a BAD ENT as it turned out that took my money without telling me up front they had NO treatment, they don't inject steroids into the ear as it does not work, was given no answers, no treatment, basically no hope for this sudden condition that i suffered 1 week ago. The medical people from start to finish were all horrible and very unhelpful, I had to kick down doors to get appointments through, the only saving grace was the audio test centre AUDIKA, Nick there moved heaven and hell endorsing the report Medical Emergency for me. Taking steroids now wait and see approach for something that doctors and reception staff should take much more seriously. Utterly disgusted with the LACK of health service in Australia - shame on every one of you lazy ass doctors and impertinent up front receptionists.

Just woke up with this. On steroids now. Second time it's happened to me. It took 4 month's the first time to gain full hearing back. I hope I get it back this time.

I am a 24 yo man, 18th January i just woke up with incredibly high tinnitus, coudlnt hear well in my right ear, all day very dizzy, crazy. the worse day of my life!! Thankfully in the end, my hearing loss was not so vast. After 6000hz i go to 50 till 60 Db in my right ear... my left ear is going down to 30 till 40 in 8000 Hz. well that s the result of my last audiometry. i made some of them, the audition improved with time and i also took corticoid probably one week after it had happened.

Got it, refer urgently.

Do you suspect that audiology will eventually gain more of a prominent position in regard to the treatment of sudden ssnhl?

Good video. I lost my hearing on my right ear one morning 3 months ago. Out of blue.. I went to see an ENT doctor within 3 hours of the occurrence. I did take the steroid orally for 3 weeks. I did do the steroid injection to the cochlea while taking the steroid orally. They were all my very desperate attempts to get my hearing back. All failed to work. Now, after 3 months, my ENT says very likely that there is no hope going forward. She recommends Cochlear Implant.

Last week I lost my hearing in the right ear almost completely overnight. -60 dB... All I hear is rumbling, crackling, and a background noise, like the surf of the ocean and sometimes funny 'plinking and pinging' sounds. The specialist doctor put me on steroids (Medrol 32 mg). Six days later no improvement whatsoever. In six weeks I can get an MRI scan. In the meantime I panic, as I think time is playing against me. I fear I will never enjoy music again, which is a big deal for me.

I had this a few months back and with the covid19 stuff it's impossible to get in anywhere....Out of luck
