What Does Sudden Hearing Loss In The Left Ear Indicate?
I have sudden hearing loss in my left ear. I just finished a Prednisone taper, but symptoms are not better. I have dizziness, headache, ringing in my ears that is quite loud and makes it difficult to concentrate. I have been out of work for the better part of the month. I was hoping to be better soon, but symptoms are just not subsiding. Is there anything I can do?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There is no treatment to cure ringing or tinnitus in ear. You have to take it as part of life. Go for test of nerve and conduction deafness, rotation test has to be done. It can be anxiety neurosis due to loss of job. Control your anxiety. Yoga and meditation may help you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashok Kumar Dash
