Just woke up with this. On steroids now. Second time it's happened to me. It took 4 month's the first time to gain full hearing back. I hope I get it back this time.
@@Theone.fitness I did heal the first time. I also had the tinnitus the first time. This second time is a repeat of the first. Been on steroids a week today, still no change.
@AMWF hi, the first time was my left ear. The second time, the same ear. On both occasions, I was doing nothing for this to happen. I went to bed with perfect hearing. When I woke up in the morning on both occasions, I was death. The second time my hearing came back in 4-weeks. I have been left this time with slight tinnitus in my left ear. There is no answer as to why this happens. So annoying!! I've seen ENT specialists, absolutely useless. They have no clue what causes sudden death syndrome.
@AMWF strange isn't it. Hopefully your hearing will recover. I have a 50% loss of hearing in both ears due to music. That didn't cause my hearing loss though.
What a gentleman and how well presented, I just returned from a BAD ENT as it turned out that took my money without telling me up front they had NO treatment, they don't inject steroids into the ear as it does not work, was given no answers, no treatment, basically no hope for this sudden condition that i suffered 1 week ago. The medical people from start to finish were all horrible and very unhelpful, I had to kick down doors to get appointments through, the only saving grace was the audio test centre AUDIKA, Nick there moved heaven and hell endorsing the report Medical Emergency for me. Taking steroids now wait and see approach for something that doctors and reception staff should take much more seriously. Utterly disgusted with the LACK of health service in Australia - shame on every one of you lazy ass doctors and impertinent up front receptionists.
Any help from any treatment? similar hearing loss for me and strong tinnitus. I had a strong sinus infection right before. Doctors were pretty slow to act overall.
@@severian17 no, doctors treat you worse than an animal quite frankly, I feel after my second event, these events are caused by small minor silent strokes, I am totally deaf now right side, just living with it now, the noise is in the brain, not from the ear, even though it sounds & feels like it's coming from the ear, maybe like phantom pain when a limb is amputated, well, life sucks, and that's a card some of us are dealt. If you have high BP, there you go, that's the cause. Keep BP down and enjoy what life you have, it's kind of a warning for bigger strokes ahead, I have had 3.
My last ENT said Hypertension is not really a factor in hearing loss but researching the internet it does seem like there may be a connection. I do need to get my BP lower. I stumbled upon a supplement called Nattokinase breaks down fibrin and may help prevent clotting FYI. Something to look into. @@glencoughlan2209
I am a 24 yo man, 18th January i just woke up with incredibly high tinnitus, coudlnt hear well in my right ear, all day very dizzy, crazy. the worse day of my life!! Thankfully in the end, my hearing loss was not so vast. After 6000hz i go to 50 till 60 Db in my right ear... my left ear is going down to 30 till 40 in 8000 Hz. well that s the result of my last audiometry. i made some of them, the audition improved with time and i also took corticoid probably one week after it had happened.
Good video. I lost my hearing on my right ear one morning 3 months ago. Out of blue.. I went to see an ENT doctor within 3 hours of the occurrence. I did take the steroid orally for 3 weeks. I did do the steroid injection to the cochlea while taking the steroid orally. They were all my very desperate attempts to get my hearing back. All failed to work. Now, after 3 months, my ENT says very likely that there is no hope going forward. She recommends Cochlear Implant.
I had the same, but literally 40 years ago, long before they recommended steroids or anything else. Just learned to live with it and led a pretty full life.
No. They cannot. They only work with the ENT specialists and provide the hearing test results. They cannot actually treat patients as far as I understand.
Last week I lost my hearing in the right ear almost completely overnight. -60 dB... All I hear is rumbling, crackling, and a background noise, like the surf of the ocean and sometimes funny 'plinking and pinging' sounds. The specialist doctor put me on steroids (Medrol 32 mg). Six days later no improvement whatsoever. In six weeks I can get an MRI scan. In the meantime I panic, as I think time is playing against me. I fear I will never enjoy music again, which is a big deal for me.
Diego a.m. I finally got my ears cleaned out and that was 90% of my problem. I’ve had my hearing aids for about 3 weeks and they’re pulling in the upper 10% of my frequency range
@AMWF mine heales by itself along the day and when I woke up on Monday I was back to normal. I say that easily now, but I was really freaking out bad that day. Since then, it happened again once more and that time was because I used earplugs to sleep. I took them off in the morning and my inner ear hurt. And my hearing was down for the rest of the day. I've come to realize that if I fall asleep in a position that's not friendly for my ears they will hurt in the morning and this will happen
