sudden bilateral hearing loss
Posted , 1 user is following.
two weeks ago my right ear felt muffled, that night i got tinnitus for the first time, which has persisted until now, and my ears rapidly lost hearing ability. I was misdiagnosed in the ER with an ear infection, but 3 ENTs are perplexed. I was prescribed 60 mg prednisone, and have since been downgraded to mild hearing loss. pitches are all slightly distorted however, and my ears have this popping sensation / crack. MRI showed nothing other than inflammed sinuses / mucous blockage. this seems to make sense- a sinus infection affecting the eustachian tube- but my tympanograms are normal. I am a 18 year old healthy pianst who depends on my ears, so does anyone have ideas? could the sinus inflammation affect the eustachian tube but not alter the tympanogram
