I have Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss, unfortunately. Do you think NAC could still have an effect on helping me get my hearing back, even though the study I shared said it had no effect? May I ask you to take a photo of the NAC you used? I think I’ll try NAC to see if I make any progress.

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...

I'm thinking to get steroid shot in my ear to recover hearing loss, since I lost since last Friday, I done it 9 years ago before, now I'm thinking do the same, what do you guys think?

Update 6: I was rubbing my ear, and it suddenly popped, which made my hearing better. What does that mean?

Update 5: I just got back home from my ENT appointment. I could barely hear what either of the two doctors was saying. Apparently, my eardrum is fine, but there’s a lot of earwax. They also said there’s no more fluid in my ear. I can still hear my own voice. I have an appointment with the...

Yes, I’m lying flat. I used to sleep on my side, but back in February I started getting ear pain from it and had to go to the ER twice. Now I’m afraid to sleep on my side. Today I just took my last pill of Amoxicillin. I skipped the Flonase nasal spray yesterday because it was getting late...

I'm thinking go to ENT today, as I barely hear my voice in two mornings now, it's quite annoying to deal with this, but good news is vibration, and echo is gone, well vibration almost gone, but the ringing is back to normal which doesn't bother me much than my hearing right now.

Update 4: Yesterday, I took Amoxicillin, which helped temporarily until I slept the next night. I also used Flonase, but only my left nostril had a nosebleed, while the right one tolerated it fine.

Update 3: I just woke up, and my hearing loss has gotten worse. I can barely hear my own voice right now.

Kingsfan if it's by allergies then it be easier to recover from it, I'm hoping it's a cold like my uncle said, but however unfortunately my cousin grandmother lives around here and smokes outside, so I'm not sure if Eustachian Tube Dysfunction caused by this.

Thank you. I have another question. Is it true that you shouldn’t spray upward when using nasal sprays? https://entsaustin.com/using-nasal-sprays-properly/#:~:text=As%20you%20can%20see%2C%20the%20eustachian%20tube,treat%20sinus%20issues%20and/or%20eustachian%20tube%20dysfunction.

Thank you for your advice. I have a few questions. What brand of Flonase or Nasonex would you recommend for me to use? Do you think my hearing will recover so that I can hear voices normally again, like I did two days ago in the morning before the sudden decline from Eustachian tube...

Update 2: My uncle brought over Afrin nasal spray to help with my Eustachian tube dysfunction. I wonder if it’s a good idea to use it?

Update: I went to the ER at a local hospital last night. I got Amoxicillin and a cream for my eyelid bump.

Not feeling good right now, I barely hear voices and my appointment is on the 27th of Octoober, I wish I can go earlier

Hello, I’ve been reading this website for a long time. I’ve had tinnitus since March 2016, when I was in my teens. It started suddenly, the day after I listened to a guitar piece called Aftermath. It sounded so peaceful, but the next day, when I went to high school, my hearing changed. It was...
