I just wanted to add a point about using earplugs in the car. My car has double-paned glass on every window, which is becoming more common. When I play music, it’s very hard to hear anything outside.

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...

My spike has already lasted almost two weeks—it’ll be two full weeks tomorrow. I’m really depressed about it. Before this, things were still a struggle, but I was at least trying to stay active. I was learning new things online for potential future work, walking every day, and doing some...

I really appreciate your reply. I know I can’t expect a lot of responses every time, but it’s still disappointing when I don’t get one for a while. I guess it’s because I’m so anxious, depressed, and worried about my current ear problems—especially the spike I recently got. My ear pain, or more...
