Thanks both. Very unfortunate with the patient losing that loss post covid! This have definitely opened my eyes about how urgent hearing loss is and how quickly you need to seek treatment.
I was just going to try my luck seeing a private ENT but after doing research for more steroids, I dont think it would do anything other than cause my tinnitus to spike with the increase in blood pressure so I cancelled it.
Ive definitely regained something, so makes me wonder if the steroids helped somewhat being taken so early on.
Ive been doing music therapy an hour a day, half hour in morning and in the evening.
Ive been taking Magnesium citrate, Zinc and Gingko bilboa.
Whether any of that has helped or i recovered some hearing spontaneously I wont know but that little gain has really helped taken that one sided feeling away.
I will continue with these until I see ENT on 26th. Gutted as i was supposed to see him tomorrow!
All I can say is im in a much better place than I was 3 weeks ago mentally.
I will try Acupuncture, what is this good for? The mind?
