SSHL Advice

Sudden hearing loss in my left ear while I was making my coffee last Friday. Got in for a hearing test the same day, and have a follow up with ENT tomorrow (Tuesday). Will likely discuss treatment and/or further diagnostics with him then.

From what I can tell, I'm pretty fortunate to have caught this as early as I did. Also thankful that most of the lower decibels aren't impacted.

A few questions:

  1. Does anything look off with my chart? Anyone have similar results or specific advice for me?

  2. When I meet with my ENT, is there anything I should advocate for? Based on my call with the scheduler, it seems like steroid injections are the likely next steps. 3 injections, each one week apart.
