It has been 5 weeks since I suddenly lost total hearing in my left ear. I've seen 2 specialist. Same treatment, oral steroid and steroid injections in my eardrum, MRI and CT scan. The hearing loss was so severe the doctors don't think I will regain any of my hearing back. I'm waiting for another hearing test in a few weeks. I was wondering if anyone has had cochlear implants, hearing aides....if so, does this help with all the noise I'm hearing in my left ear. I'm also wondering if it has helped anyone to be able to go out in public places and to be able to tolerate all that noise. Right now, I'm home bound because I can't tolerate the noise the noise level when I go out. How soon were you able to begin this treatment? I'm ready to get my life back.
