Hi - I'm hoping someone can cure my anxiety over permanent hearing loss This is so frustrating and scary! My story is that i had a nasty cold ended in an ear infection. Primary care doc said it was the worst infection they'd ever seen. Was put on antibiotics and drops after a week i went back because iI still couldn't hear anything and ears were ringing. Infection gone and I was then sent to ENT. Freaking out bc I still couldn't hear anything and terrible ringing. Worried about hearing loss. ENT put me on steroids, Still no relief. Went back and they said they would perform Myringotomy surgery. Draining water from my ear. Doctor said you'll have immediate relief. I did not . I asked her what her definition of immediate was ? She said most people have immediate relief, but some can take longer. That did not sound good to me, you told me beforehand that i would have immediate relief and that is NOT what happened. She should have said that you MIGHT get immediate relief. but may take longer. Anyway she said don't worry its just going to take time. Well I'm going insane with hearing myself talk, ringing and a feeling of something stuffed in my ear. I'm not going back for 6 weeks! Will I ever be able to hear again? I'm so dizzy and uncomfortable!! I want my life back!! Is there hope to hear normally again? They did do a hearing test and said hearing loss was caused by a blockage but they removed the water in middle ear so what else could it be?? I'm so worried!!
