There is a study that shows NAC has little to no effect on hearing loss: Effect of N‐acetyl‐cysteine treatment on sensorineural hearing loss: a meta‐analysis

I can adapt to tinnitus, but with severe hearing loss is I didn't expect to get, will the second shot save me or no effect? Despite 3-week onset, will there be improvement despite my odds is 1/3? What if I live like this forever? What if it really does work? If it really does work, I hope I can...

Well, I went today, and unfortunately, nothing changed in the audiology results. Another doctor gave me another steroid shot because he believes my hearing might improve since I mentioned that I can hear my own voice better. But the delay is so long, and it really sucks to live with severe...

Hi Sonia, I found out the emergency room Doctor misdiagnosed me, it seems not Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, but my nerve unofrtunately

Update 10: It turns out my hearing loss isn’t caused by Eustachian Tube dysfunction after all. I was misdiagnosed by the emergency room doctor. The first steroid shot didn’t show any improvement, although I did notice that I could hear my own voice better. Another doctor gave me a second shot...

Update 9: I took a nap, and now I hear my own voice faintly. I’m feeling concerned. Someone I know thinks the steroid shot is working, but can anyone please tell me if it’s actually working? This clog is bothering me a lot, especially the liquid feeling.

I hope so. My hearing has felt blocked for five days since the steroid shot.

Well, @Kain, we’re in a similar situation. I had a steroid shot on the 29th, and today is the 3rd. My ear still feels blocked after the injection, and it’s been five days. I’m not even sure if that’s normal. Google says the ear may feel full and muffled for a few days, but it seems to have gone...

Update 8: I just woke up from a nap or two, and now I hear an echo in my own voice, and sounds feel blocked. Is this normal after a steroid shot?

Update 7: Since I took the steroid shot 10 days after it started, which was two days ago, I’m beginning to notice some improvement in my hearing. I can now hear my own voice normally, and the toilet flush sounds clear without any distortion. I think that’s an accomplishment.

I wonder if NAC can help with severe hearing loss like mine. I had a steroid shot in my eardrum two days ago, and it was incredibly painful. I don’t want to get a cochlear implant because it’s expensive, and I don’t want to lose my natural hearing. Most people probably wouldn’t understand why I...

Interestingly, I’ve heard people say their tinnitus gets worse for days after a steroid shot, but during the injection it becomes loud only temporarily and then calms down within seconds.

I went to the audiologist two days ago. She cleaned my earwax, but it didn’t make any difference. However, I had a steroid shot yesterday. There hasn’t been a big improvement, but I did notice a small one in my hearing. I think my hearing will come back in a couple of months. I just need to...
