SSHL recovery timeframe

[brendajj9]

at what point does a person with diagnosed SSHL, who has already been treated with oral steroids and tympanic injections of steroids, give up hope of experiencing any further hearing improvement?

Same exact date as me 2/27/15. I was told I had a sinus infection (which I did) 3 weeks later I insisted for a referral to an ENT that told me I had no fluid "stuck" like my GP told me. Taking steroids for a week has not helped. An MRI is scheduled, blood work done.  Next is a shot for the nerves that he says are inflamed.  Any instant luck with this anyone?  What shall I expect?  How can I not swallow for 1/2 hour laying there?  I hope it helps.

Stacey, any update? Sorry this happened to you. It's good that you didn't wait a month (as in my case) before getting treated. Hope you have got at least some of your hearing back. If not, I'm sure you've found out there are some great solutions out there...I love my Baha (going strong after 6.5years!). Best of luck.

I had SSHL April of 2013. Completely deaf on that Side. Anyone who needs somebody to talk to with please email me. I haven't searched on net for SSHL info since onset...because everything will improve I assure you. It is a slow process. ***@****

I got SSHL last Friday 27 Feb, took one shot of steroids, but the hearing is getting worse with more tinnitus and 0% hearing. Really frightened.
Taking Oral steroids too but don't think its helping out
