Thank you for the detailed presentation. Your work helped me advocate for the urgency of my care. Prognosis is not good for me, but I am being given quite timely care: General Practitioner saw me within 24 hours of idiopathic SSNHL onset and prescribed the 60mg Prednisone immediately. Referred for audiology and ENT within 72 hours. Profound loss in left ear >80dB across all frequencies documented. MRI ordered w/wo contrast with availability in 4 weeks. Follow-up with audiology and ENT in 2 weeks for possible trans-tymbonic injection. Seems the only other possibility for treatment is hyperbaric oxygen. I feel fortunate to have access to such information. By the way, my ENT doctor said he, "He would like to Kiss" my General Practitioner for his timely, skilled handoff as that GP sees cases like mine once every two years. Again, thank you for the detailed content.❤
Lost my hearing in right ear about 2 years ago. Had all the treatment right away. I didn't regain any hearing. I tested for covid immediately, and was negative. Any ideas?
getting treatment within 7 days is almost impossible as you have to be able to make appts in order to even get to the point of this treatment. In canada even after going to emergency it will take weeks to see an ENT .. then treatment and doctor is just a waste of time, money and efforts. Very frustrating and adds to the anxiety. Im a musician now dealing with this and the only thing i can do is learn on youtube then get more anxiety because all i can do is sit and wait weeks before we even start diagnosis
I'm in Canada (Québec) and I suddenly lost hearing in my left ear Thursday. I saw a doctor Sunday and he prescribed me 60mg of Prednisone daily. I started treatment Sunday, 80 hours after fist noticing the hearing loss and now after just 36h of treatment there is already a very noticeable improvement! I have an appointment scheduled with an ENT and an audiologist next week, but at last I could start the treatment right away! The emergency doctor you saw is incompetent. He should have prescribed you Prednisone ASAP! That's why you should ALWAYS seek a second opinion! I would sue this idiot if I were you...

Fantastic talk Sarah, Thank you.
Statistically significant benefit when both systemic and intra tympanic steroids were used when administered within 7 days of onset.

I would want a neurologist to evaluate for posterior fossa stroke when they have dizziness at the same time... don't you agree?
