Sudden Hearing Loss With Ringing

[fazza47]

I was sat at my desk today when all of a sudden with no warning I went deaf in my left ear and experienced a constant ringing. Its still ringing some six hours later and I still cant hear. I generally have no hearing problems so really would like to know what it could be and what I should do about it?

Hi  fazza...

You can do the the most promising treatment is steroids, which can bring at least partial recovery in about half of the cases if treatment is started immediately.

Tips for Buy a Hearing Aid Accessories
I have some tips about how to use hearing aid:
1. Learn the Features
Take some time while you are still with the audiologist who sold you the hearing aid to learn everything you can about it. Practice replacing the batteries, cleaning the hearing aid and telling the left hearing aid from the right.
2. Learn to Adjust
Learn how to adjust your hearing aid for different situations like a loud room. You may even ask to walk outside where there is traffic and have someone talk to you before leaving with your new hearing aid.
3. Do Not Overdo It
Some people find hearing aids uncomfortable at first. Ask how long you should wear your hearing aid each day while you are adjusting. Depending on the type of hearing aid you have, it may take a few days or more to become used to wearing a hearing aid.
