What Causes Hearing Loss In The Right Ear?

I have sudden hearing loss in my right ear to the point of almost being deaf in that ear. I also have a very sore neck that hurts when I move it from side to side, touch my chin to my chest, or look up. I ve been sleeping with a heating pad on my neck and trying to be careful with it, but I m worried as my children have had meningitis and the neck pain was part of it.

Hi,
Hearing loss can be due totrauma to ear drum.or the middle ear inection / infkammation causing disturbance of boney conduction /nurogenic .. due to compression or damage of nerve suply.
Looking at severe neck pain (which does not seem to be from meningitis-where neck rigidity is also accompanied by fever &vomiting ).....the cause your case seems to be to to cervical spondylitis/disc problem.
Simple pain medicine like ibuprofen &rest /hot or cold compresses would give some relief... but xray/CT scan or MRI would pin point the cause..
This can be followed by specific management ( Anti inflammatory drugs,steroid(in oral ,injectable or local form), calcium &vitamin D /physiotherapy/surgery are the things mostly preffered.)
Please consult an orthopedic doctor.
Thanks.
Thankz.
