Update on My Left Ear [View all]

Well I finally got into an ENT office on August 22. They said likely because I couldn't tolerate the Prednisone, because of my anxiety, I wasn't given a strong or long enough dose. They also said I should have probably been prescribed a stronger and longer course of antibiotics, as they believe the sinus infection damaged a nerve in my ear, and started causing it to start to die off.

The fantastic news however they now have a surgeon who is giving me a steroid injection right into my ear. Since it is localized it doesn't set off my anxiety.

I have had two of four doses so far and my hearing in that ear has almost been fully restored. The fullness in both ears is diminishing. The only downsides are the tinitus is still there, and am still having more vertigo than I used too( have always had some because of sinus and allergies) , but overall just really happy about being to hear again in that ear.

The surgeon said she can't guarantee anything, but she hopes the last two doses might at least lesson the remaining symptoms.
