Scared for second shot

Got a steroid shot in my ear a couple of days ago and it was extremely painful. Even the “numbing agent” was painful.

It’s been over two years since my SSHL, and the ENT says it’s worth trying the shots (5 total over a two week span), but that there is only around a 10% chance they work.

Should I continue and get the next four shots? I could deal with the pain the first time, but now that I know how it feels, the anticipation is extremely anxiety inducing.

Especially with such a low chance at this point of it helping, should I continue?

Thank you for your time….
