What Does Less Hearing In Left Ear And Dizziness Indicate?

Hello. I recently I had a cold it lasted about a week and a half then on Dec 31 I blew my nose and my left ear popped resaulting in severe dizzyness. Now 3 days later I have very very little hearing in that same ear and persistent pain. So what's wrong?

Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have problem of hearing in left ear and dizziness also known as vertigo . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) are ear infection , hypoglycemia , anemia , meniere's disease , migraine , acoustic neuroma and alteration in he blood circulation . But in your case the main reason for vertigo is hearing loss . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order test like rotatory chair test , head movement test , posturography , hearing test and CT scan . Doctor may prescribe antiemetic drug , sedatives and recommend balance therapy , vestibular therapy , hearing aid or physiotherapy . For now do not bend forward and drink green tea thrice a day .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
