T Henny,
Have you been to see an ENT Specialist? If not, you may want to schedule a hearing test and ask about a tapered course of prednisone or a prednisone drip. you have a few weeks to do this, to possibly reverse your hearing loss and T, if it's sudden sensorineural hearing loss?
I waited to long in doing so, but initially, prednisone stopped my T dead in it's tracks! If I had come in the week after my SSHL started, it may have been different.
You have all to gain and nothing to lose!
God bless,
