Did you tell them you have Sudden
Sensory hearing loss? Someone should get you in on an emergency basis.
I lost total hearing one day, got in that same day to an ENT, but he thought it was a virus. I wasted valuable time.
After dealing with medications, I went to another doc and got steroid shots in my ear. But it was too late. I’m totally deaf in my right ear, and it won’t be coming back.

I’m about 6 months into the same thing. The worse part for me has been numbness of my face on the right and the feeling of being stuffed up on the right side. After two ENT’s and an ear MRI they think a coclier might help. Not sure I’m going to do that if I can live with it. I would like to know how other single side hearing loss people get along with the coclier.

When any sudden hearing loss occurs out of the blue you need a steroid shot within 72 hours. We have a captioner at our HLAA meeting, she experienced hearing loss suddenly. Thankfully she went to a competent ENT physician immediately and received a steroid shot. She regained her hearing and is still working as a captioner.
