Looking for continued input for SSHL

I feel your discouragement. Question: how is the hearing in your left ear? You mentioned a hearing aid. Is that something you’ve had for your left ear before this?
I’ve had SSHL no known cause, about 8 yrs. That experience of not knowing where in space you are is unsettling to say the least. My husband has learned- sort of - not to call me from afar. It’s so distressing to turn 360 to find him. I have a hearing aid for the good ear with a microphone for the left (bicros) but rarely use it. My tinnitus is also loud, seems worse after air travel, or unavoidable loud noises. Wish I had an answer for you.

I appreciate your response. I have started looking on Facebook too. I didn’t realize there was a group there and that is helpful. I don’t have a hearing aid, but I do know when someone gets their hearing aid offkilter it makes a shrill noise that everyone in the room can hear. It was that shrill noise I was referring to and it is simply because someone is hugging me on that side! The Facebook group has given me some encouragement because there are a lot of newcomers who are trying to cope as I am and a lot of old timers that are offering encouragement. It’s a good place to have landed for now.
