Went to ENT doctor today. Got hearing tested and examined. Possible answers!

A. Sudden Hearing Loss. There is such a thing. 30% chance of recovery. Steroids injections behind ear and by pills. Up to three injections with a 7 day period between shots.

B. A Tumor. Will need a MRI which has been ordered.

I want to thank everyone for their responses and being so kind and thoughtful. I still want more info on this SHL . You just suddenly loose it? Wow! I will also update info on if there is a tumor, what's up.

There was a response that told me about this exact situation of having this tumor. Check responses!

Thanks again

    I'm glad the ENT doctor was able to see you quickly.

    Hope they can find what's causing it.
