Sudden hearing loss after a long flight

I’m 64 , two years into sensory hearing loss on the right side. All I’ve ever got from the doctors is a cochlear (might) help. I’m not interested in might. I get along good except in crowd situations, and orienting where sound comes from. Dizziness is pretty much gone, but it will get me if I make a sudden change of position like laying on the floor then jumping up. This is the first time I have seen this much discussion of this subject. I’m not sure I even believe the virus theory, I think they don’t know and just have to say something!

I think you and I are on the same page. I am 61 and only 2 months since total SSHL in my left ear. I've had the oral steroids, three shots and accept this as permanent. I get along OK and am not inclined to look into hearing aids now and have been told to wait at least six months anyway to give myself time to adjust.
It's the damned dizziness that will not subside and it's driving me up a wall. Reading your post is a glimpse into my near future - I suspect that most of it will fade but not all.
You just go to bed one night and wham ................
