One month later my right ear was still deaf. So I visited my local GP on August 2.
Straight away he took it seriously. He did tests with tuning forks. He asked me questions. He sent me for a hearing test that same day. He sent me for a CAT scan and and MRI, and I was booked into an ENT specialist the very next day. Within 24 hours I had a diagnosis form the ENT specialist of SSHL. This means ‘Sudden Senseroneural Hearing Hoss’.
The ENT, put me on the standard treatment of Prednisone for 10 days. I realised this was serious. I took time off work. I figured 3 weeks off work to help my hearing was worth it.
I started doing a hearing test to monitor my progress. I also started something called CIST which I read about.
Here is the progress of my first 3 weeks after diagnosis!!!
The results are remarkable!
It’s a bit up and down, but mostly up.
