So, brothers and sisters in arms, I will let you know how things go. I was told that I even if I get results, that I will likely not notice anything until after I get my second injection in a week from now.if at all. It was not a very pleasant experience, but it did feel exactly as he said it would feel.
As it stands right now my hearing loss is so profound that a hearing aid will not help me. Tinnitus during COVID-19 is generally believed to be caused by damage or inflammation in the inner ear, which may happen due to viral infection or as a result of your body’s immune response. I was also told that there was only a 25-30% chance that I would get even a little bit of noticeable hearing restored in my right ear, in which case I would then be able to be fitted for a hearing aid. He recommended the steroid injections direct into the ear, but it was my call of course. Moving forward, I then had a nice talk with the ENT guru and we went over the treatment options. Following today's exam I was told I have a slight improvement in hearing, but for all intents, I am still deaf in right ear. I have been on oral prednisone these past three weeks. Today I had my second (follow-up) hearing test since my onset of sudden hearing loss in my right ear with significant Tinnitus approx 3 weeks ago.
