I apologize ahead of time if I'm doing this wrong. This is my first post and I'm unsure of what the etiquette is for the forum.

My daughter, who's 16, experienced a "pop" in her left ear around April 17th. She's not experiencing the echoing that's been mentioned here. But she does have daily experiences of ringing (could be high pitched or low, it varies), muffled sound (like your head is underwater, and then to no hearing. There is no "back to normal" for her hearing. She saw an audiologist and ENT last week. We had an awful experience with then and got a second opinion today. They audiologist today was beyond amazing. She ran 6 different tests on her hearing. At the end she told us that she has mild to moderate hearing loss. The ENT was fantastic as well. He listened to our story, asked about whether or not she gets dizzy (she mentioned that it a couple of times) and then he checked her ear drums (which appeared normal). He did put her on a treatment of steroids for 12 days. She starts them tomorrow morning. He never formally came out and said she has Sudden Hearing Loss. But did prescribe the steroids and said that information has come out saying where it has been helpful. We're scheduled for a follow up hearing test appointing in July. No MRI was mentioned.

I'm concerned that with today being May 26th, that she's starting these too late. I've read most all of the information I can come across as well as several of the discussion posts here. You guys seem so knowledgeable and helpful. I'm hoping that someone here can help.

TYIA!
