Sudden hearing loss and an echo

@imallears ..the morning again is worse. I am dizzy just laying in bed. Really think I will cancel my flight. Especially since I am headed to Chicago. It's not a place to travel too alone, not being 100 percent yourself. I need my tough side being there.. lol.. Not a vulnerable demeanor. And right now I'm feeling a bit vulnerable..
I met 3 people yesterday who knew ears. 2 who had experience with this exactly happening to their loved ones. One her husband never regained his hearing . He gets very depressed. The other her daughter ended up with ear operations that fixed her hearing.
Another woman was a retired audiologist??? I think that is what she said. She felt I would eventually regain the hearing.. since I didn't loose it completely.
Have you heard or read your hearing returns rapidly just like it diminished when this happene?

Hi Jackie,
Only heard of two cases years ago and I don’t know the details. One was a family member of one of my daughters patients and he lost his hearing for many months and boom...it came back. She couldn’t find out why and I don’t know if it was one or both ears or if he sought treatment.
I really think that you got to the steroids fast enough to have a positive outcome. Okay...my opinion is to stay home....you’re stressed now and that makes things worse. I can “hear” you trying to convince yourself to cancel. You’ll feel better after you reschedule or cancel and can just focus on healing and staying calm and babying yourself for a bit. You wouldn’t enjoy your trip knowing you have a return flight looming and Chicago? That’s one busy airport. Stressful enough for anybody.
I can’t stress enough how anxiety affects your hearing and worsens tinnitus also. Been wearing hearing aids for 45 years and boy, at this point, if I had a 3D printer and the help of a techie, I would make my own aids and program them myself. I actually repaired an old full shell aid once that cracked. Looked inside and moved the tiny microchips a bit and boom...got it working again.
That was my backup aid for a while. I do a lot of reading about hearing loss and eye problems.
