Hello and welcome to my Hearing Health Blog! If this is your first time here, please read this post to get familiar with my story of sudden unilateral hearing loss and different vestibular diagnoses. This blog is a space where you can find tips and health resources that have helped me cope with vestibular symptoms for the past five years. I hope it helps you or someone you know struggling with these disorders.
IMPORTANT: If you or a loved one has recently experienced sudden hearing loss, please SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION RIGHT AWAY. The first 72 hours after experiencing sudden hearing loss are the most important, and you must act fast. A steroid treatment could be the only chance of getting your hearing back, either partially or, in some cases, intratympanic injections may help you regain a significant percentage of your hearing; however, in most cases, this has to be administered during the first 72hrs of the hearing loss onset.
