How much time had passed before your prednisone treatment? I was never treated with steroids or antibiotic because there was no urgency displayed for my treatment. I waited weeks and months to get to see ENTs and specialists. I had no idea time was important because it was all new to me.
My ears were flushed....no ear wax. And then I waited and waited for my first appointment with an ENT who just put me in hearing aids. I now have tinnitus and hyperacusis and the hearing aids are almost useless because my hearing changes so much. I still have quite a lot of hearing but lots of distortion.
I think I have too much hearing to be considered for cochlear implants. Of course any surgery is concerning. What if it just makes it worse??
I think my treatment was terrible and now my options are very few.
