Hearing Loss, Tinnitus and Unbalanced feeling
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi All,
I had an ear infection over 3 weeks ago which causes severe dizziness and hearing loss. The dizziness went away after a few days but I still feel unbalanced however I feel that is improving. During the first week my ear was completely blocked and had no feeling and couldnt hear anything.
I got a hearing test and the audiologist said my hearing was profound loss. However since then I think my hearing has got better but not fully recovered. I saw an ENT they recommended I have a MRI which is soon. The last couple of weeks I have tinnitus which is really annoying me and I am worried. This is coming on to 4 weeks now. This started due to infection where my ear drum was inflamed after having a shower and during the night my ear got worse and worse.
I saw my GP said last week my eardrum is no longer red but is dull, what does this mean?
I am looking for advice and help with this. All comments will be appreciated highly as I am going through a very tough time as I am only 25.

Hi all,
I have had my MRI and nothing serious has been found which is a good thing. So now waiting to hear from the consultant to go through my MRI report in detail to explain the hearing loss.

Don't know how I missed this before posting my message! So pleased that it was nothing serious and hope you are continuing to recover well. Best wishes.

Hi everyone
I'd be interested to hear how people are getting on with their ear problems now and whether they are resolved. I hope the scans helped with diagnosis and treatment.
I'm having a lot of head pain (mainly sinuses I think) along with ear discomfort, fullness and tinnitus. I've been prescribed 5 days of amoxicillin so hoping they work!
