Otosclerosis and SNHL
Hi
I'm a 23 M and I've recently been diagnosed with Otosclerosis in my right ear. For the longest time I have been suffering from profound hearing loss in my left ear (which was formally diagnosed when I was aged 12) but have had normal hearing in my strong ear without facing any issues or like strong tinnitus. Since the past year (2025-26), I've been facing higher than normal tinnitus that had been diagnosed by my ENT and was wavering with intensity as the year went by. But off-late, I've been facing difficulty with conversations as well as grasping sounds that I could earlier hear (like the ticking of the clock, light rain outside when the window is closed); Somehow it still got resolved with a combination of steroids and antibiotics. However since March '26, I've been complaining of the same muffled hearing and it led to a diagnosis of Otosclerosis being the main culprit leading to a 20dB conductive hearing loss in my right ear. This coupled with profound deafness in my left ear has led me to go a little crazy but also curious as to finding anyone who is going through the same or similar condition. I hope it's resolved or at the very least can be adapted to go through normal living. Thank you for listening/reading through a bit of my rant!
