Sudden Loss of Hearing with a Tinnitus Sound of Loud Motor Running

Hello!

Can someone explain why I have sudden (loud motor running) in my ears and loss of hearing please??

I was diagnosed with labyrinthitis in December. I took a one time prescribed high dose of Prednisone family plus antibiotics for 10 days. On Wednesday I was back to see my family doctor who said I still had dried blood in my ear canal but did not do anything.

And now tonight, Saturday, it feels like I have a loud motor running or helicopter in my ears and feels like I have hearing loss! Going truly insane with the noise and my family says I'm telling!

Someone please help!

 

Sudden hearing loss is an emergency. Go see a doctor at your earliest convenience.

 

I would have gone already but we are in the middle of a winter storm. Hardly slept because of the noises in my ear and it is still very sore to the touch and loss of hearing. I will be going as soon as weather is clear which unfortunately for me might not be until tomorrow or Tuesday.

 

Consider going to the ER if you can't get to the MD. Sudden hearing loss is considered an emergency

 

Isn't there an ER you can go to?
