ENT very important step. Went to my GP and did 2 weeks of antibiotics b4 I was sent to ENT. I have since educated her. ENT gave me 3 steroid shots in my ear and put me on steroids and no luck. Lost my hearing 5 days after 2nd COVID shot. Been 2 yrs. The gig is the worst.

So sorry to hear this @vickies It may not be due to the Covid shot. That is hard to identify. Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is not uncommon. It's unfortunate that the GPs and PCPs don't always understand that time is of the essence when it comes to steroid injections for this issue. Hearing loss and deafness are grossly misunderstood by far too many.

How are you educating your GP?
