Did you totally lose hearing in both ears?

I pray that the antibiotics help.

^^^ Yes ... it was completely out of the blue, just woke up without hearing. I’ve learned that even the common flu or any virus can completely take your hearing out permanently, if you’re unfortunate. Thanks KK. That means alot. Hope you’re doing well?

I hope your hearing returns. xxx

Thanks MG. xxx

Have you made an appointment with an ENT specialist?

Very sorry to hear about your situation Juliette, I hope things look up soon

The light is going out. No numeric value required.

Here in the UK, this is all organised via your Doctor. She is phoning first thing again on Monday morning and will likely send me off for some tests then. We were waiting on the Covid test result(I sent the swab test kit back on Tuesday for tesing, results came through Thursday late afternoon). The Doc felt it was likely covid as she has had a few patients lose their hearing due to this. Apparently it’s been an overlooked symptom of covid, affecting patients from the age of 20 up to 50, with no prior hearing problems. They’ve only done 3 small studies on it, so far. I looked this up as I had no idea this was a thing. It certainly is, though. Not sure what’s caused this in my case, but it can be due to a virus, measles(which I’ve had), autoimmune diseases, brain tumor, migraine, stroke/heart issues, trauma, concussion, a tear in the tissue between middle/inner ear, diabetes, hypothyroidism & more. Oral steroids might be prescribed. The sooner they can figure out the cause, the better the chance at preventing long-term deafness.

Thanks green . Hope you’re doing ok. Read you were having some issues too. xx

I would be very active, yet diplomatic, in advocating for myself. Make sure the doctors are aware that you will take an active role in your treatment.

Juliette, I’ve been worried about you as well and keeping you in my thoughts. What you’re dealing with does seem scary, I hope you get your hearing back soon.

I don’t really know what to say that might be at all helpful, but I wanted you to at least know that your post didn’t go by completely unnoticed.

How come, Vegetable Man?

Kind of drunk & this is how my internship feels as a result of heavy pressure on autistic people to do lots of good work for minimal returns.
