[quote=Anonymous]I hope my experience gives you some reassurance. I had mild tinnitus for a few months followed by sudden complete one-sided deafness. My MRI turned up no acoustic neuroma. It sucks to lose hearing but I was relieved to not need surgery. What I learned from my ENT, audiologist and the FB support groups I joined is most people do not have a tumor but they do have to investigate. Generally it remains unexplained and is chalked up to a virus or auto-immune issue. Like you, most people seem to get bad advice from their PCPs before finally making their way to an ENT. It is considered a medical emergency to lose hearing and quick intervention with oral steroids and injections can on occasion restore it. In my case, I was seen immediately but my hearing didn’t return. [/quote]
