      acoustic trauma
      Hello! Recently I lost hearing from a bad valsalva in the right ear and from acoustic trauma in the left ear. I am left with tinnitus and balance, vision problems. The audiogram shows a normal to mild hearing loss overall and the ear doctor could not find anything wrong.

      What can I do now? Try prednisone? Pressure chamber?

      Any experiences with something similar? Will I ever become normal?

      Sorry for the boring first post.

      How long ago was your hearing loss/acoustic trauma?
      For many existing treatments (prednisone, HBOT), time is of the essence.

      Quite possibly, but if I were in your shoes I'd still take the chance.

      Prednisone and LLLT both can help in the acute stage for some recovery

      Please mind that prednisone has to be quite a dose for it to work. My second dose of 60 taper (5 days 60) started to do it's work only 24 hours ago. And now I already have to taper down so I'm calling the ENT again before too late. So don't agree with a short taper period.
