Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others

I’m in the 3 week of Sudden hearing loss. I had my 3 rd ear shot yesterday and if it doesn’t help they won’t do the fourth. I will then get another hearing test to see if hearing aids will work. I will have a MRI next Tuesday. The doctor said it is routine to rule out a non cancerous ear tumor that is rare but it does happen. It’s helping me not to be so scared knowing other people are going through the same thing . Any tips will help!!

If you have a tumor (acoustic neuroma) & it can be removed & your hearing is restored then that’s closure. If the shots restore your hearing that’s awesome. I just hope you get your hearing back whatever works.
Hang in there. Many of us have gotten though this. It happened to me 2 years ago and hearing aid have helped a lot. It is not easy to wrap your arms around it. Best of luck that the 3rd shot helps.
Good luck with your third shot and with the MRI. I had to have an MRI after my sudden hearing loss as well. It was bearable. Look into bone-conduction devices like the Osia 2 or BoneBridge devices. If you aren't a candidate for hearing aids, you might be a candidate for a bone-conduction device. I have the Osia 2 and love it. Keep your spirits up and stay focused on solutions--it helped me get through the initial shock of losing my hearing in one ear (I was already hard of hearing in the other ear).

I wish you well. I hope the 3rd shot has an effect, and I hope there is recovery for you in the future.
