Help i woke up deaf in my right ear

I hope so too Corinne.

Thank you so much x

You are welcome Corinne. Just a thought though. If it is connected to eustacian tube - which is fairly likely - then there are a few things you might be able to do to help. One is to try an ear popper. The other is to look up the various different exercises you can do to unblock that tube. Just keep googling till you find a good one. They wont cost anything and cannot do any harm and hopefully will help.

Hi thanks so much i have been today for hearing tests as it was a cancellation appointment its split so tests were today consultant tomorrow the audiologist  confirmed hearing loss and pressure tests indicated it was a problem with the inner ear so will wait until tomorrow see what the outcome is x i have no pressure feeling like my ears need to pop i just seem as if nothing is getting thru apart from hearing my own voice and heart beat? Very loudly i appreciate your comments and will read up it may just help :-) so thanks again 

It happens to a lot of people and it happened to me a while ago. The ear popper and exercises helped me but in the end I had to sort out my stomach as it was sending up stuff that blocked it. Good luck.

Oh no way!! Sounds nasty i hope your well and truly sorted now im going to have some time this evening and have a read up on what you suggested thank you x

Mine has been going on since June 2014. I have lost 40% of my hearing in my right ear.

Tested, given a steroid injection in the ear drum, had deviated septum surgery, and nothing has helped.

I got a second opinion and I need reconstructive surgery in the middle of my nose to help it stay open. Nothing for sure yet. I hope you get help. It is so annoying.

I hear crickets and cracking noises day and night.

You are crazy man, HE SHOULD HAVE GONE TO THE DOCTOR THE NEXT DAY! 

Hi rachele oh that sounds awful for you surely after your history they should have checked you out sooner!! Good news your getting seen august fingers crossed they sort you out its so frustrating and depressing! i have never suffered with my ears maybe the odd infection but thats it its 7 weeks since i lost my hearing it depresses me too im awaiting an mri scan in the meantime they have started me on steroids and nasal spray? Oh i really wish you luck please keep me informed and ill keep you updated too x they offered me hearing aids until i get sorted but i declined wish i took them up on it now as its so bad! I keep avoiding people because i cannot hear what they are saying its so awful and uncomfortable i know how your feeling keep your chin up keep me updated take care xxx

Hi Corinne, I too have had exactly the same experience you have had, although my deafness happened after a virus. My hearing tests showed severe deafness and a problem with the inner ear. The outer and middle ear were fine. I had blood tests and an MRI scan which I go for results from tomorrow. I have a really loud tinnitus noise in my ear and also what sounds like a dripping tap. If I drink lots of water it eases, alcohol and loud noises make it worse. I have resigned myself to the fact that my hearing may not return as is what the consultant had said, they have diagnosed it as sudden sensorial hearing loss. I would go for a hearing aid as I really struggle to hear when not in a quiet surrounding, socialising has become a nightmare

and even shopping. The consultants don't really know why this has happened and cannot give any time frames to my hearing returning, if at all. Hopefully your situation may improve, it can but at any time, just push for all the tests you can gave, hope goes ok 

Hi Rachelle I wanted to respond to ur message because my experiences have been similar and I take comfort knowing other people have had similar problems. When u said about the robotic voices I couldn't believe it! This happened to me! I am deaf in my left ear already I was diagnosed about 6years ago with Eustachian tube dysfunction. That was fine I didn't receive a hearing aid or anything but I didn't feel I needed one I just wanted to know what happened. In recent years however any time I'm remotely stressed, have a cold/flu, haven't had enough sleep I have trouble with my right ear! I'll get muffled hearing, vertigo, dizziness etc which usually lasts a week max! 3weeks ago I had the flu and my hearing reduced significantly in the right ear a loud windy sound was all I could hear and peoples voices were extremely muffled. I got on a flight and the ear started ringing extremely loudly then everyones voices sounded robotic - I said at the time (in a frantic panic) 'everyone sounds like computers!!!' Even my own voice! It was horrible I was petrified. But I got off the plane and about 30minutes later things gradually sounded more normal but my hearing was very sharp. I thought it was just the flight but it happened again a few days ago! Once the ordeal is over I can hear again, it's a bit sharp but better than the fullness/reduced muffled hearing! but then once I go to bed I will wake up again with fullness in the ear and muffled hearing! I can't sort of see a process here? It's still ongoing I'm so fed up with it I can hear next to nothing everyday because I'm already deaf in the other ear! I went to the doctor who said there was no sign of infection and very little wax in my ears and that it was just a viral thing that would go away by itself?! Waiting on an appointment for the ENT to hopefully get more answers! Ear trouble just seems to be a mass of unknown, I've been on countless forums reading endlessly at night - it's torture! For anyone else who hears strange things I feel Ya hearing my heartbeat a lot, at once stage I was hearing what sounded like an ambulance siren! Hopefully you all got the answers you were looking for

Why, what was the purpose of the bones being removed from your ear?

 

Thanks, your answer it was very helpful to me. Now, l know there are people like me.
