The Essentials About Sudden Hearing Loss

By Wilford Parents


Sudden hearing loss has many causes. You might have had an accident where you suffered a blow to an ear, or you might have woken up one day not being able to hear anything in one ear. This can be a very frustrating time for many people as suddenly one of your senses is impaired. Doctors can treat this condition with a drug called Prednisone and usually your hearing will return within 30 days.

Concisely, the drug is an immune-suppressant and has a corticosteroid compound in it. It is mainly used where extreme inflammation occurs in certain areas of the body. Some patients have found it working within a few days and some have not. Naturally, ones hearing can come back on its own, using no or very little drugs.

This ringing sound is called Tinnitus and most people learn to habituate to this sound in due course, so it no longer bothers them. Sometimes the ringing gets louder, especially at night when you are just about to fall asleep or when you are not active. The trick is to learn to ignore it. When you consciously say to yourself that it is not a problem, then the sounds tend to fade away.
