I awoke a few days ago with a funny weird feeling. It was kinda like vertigo. I walked around for most of the day knowing something was not quite right, but I just could not figure out what was wrong. At this point I realized my hearing was gone in my left ear.
The planned treatment is Prednisone for two weeks. I have a 35% chance of permanent hearing loss.
So I am wondering. Will a hearing aid help if my condition persist? 70 dB sounds like a lot for a small device. What is the typical amplification of hearing aids?
My doctor, a renowned specialist, and House trained
lol, House trained.
Between these two frequencies are the voices of children and women.
That sucks. I didn't know that there was something out there where you could lose hearing over such a short period of time. I have pretty sensitive ears and a lot of noises bug me and hurt my ears. I think I also used to have a tinnitus-like condition there I hear a tone every now and then, or the sound of air escaping in my ears. THere are also times when something in my ear just pops and suddenly everything sounds so much clearer as if my ears cleared up, though I have no idea what this is. Also, certain sounds like two plates hitting each other as you stacked them, my mother and sister's voice just hurt, and my even my violin!
hi,
You can get such effects if you get ear wax, your Doctor could tell you very quickly if this is the cause,
treatment is just a ten minute syringing, usually done at the local hospital.
A strange question, when you hear a 'sharp' unexpected noise do you see any effect in yours eyes, like a pattern etc.?

I have a lot of ear wax build up so I have learned to clean my ears myself.
I get a syringe designed for that purpose from the drug store. Use a solution of warm water(about a cup + 1 tablespoon of white vinegar) about once a month.
Thanks Eric, maybe someday all of us could get together and yap about things. I am sure no one would get a word in edge wise, but would it really matter as we would never notice
There are some wonderful hearing aids on the market now.
