Sudden Hearing Loss Recovery (after 6months )

For all you of out there diagnosied with SNHL . Thought of posting my story ...
Diagnoised with sudden hearing loss around April ..with no impovemnt in test results ..initially ..but after 6 months or so .. my results were almost close to normal ...
Being thru a lot of frustration with the Docs .. and carried out my own .. treatment plan .After all this i am writing this to let ppl know there is some hope out there ..when you do combination therapy one therapy will not work ..atleast in my case .

   Here is wot i did ... :
   1. Was able to take steriods within 3 days of onset symptoms .
   2. Presidisone + Ear Injections ....==== Did not help or see any imporvement for 1st month
    3. Then i started heavily on the Vitamins (B12) + Magnesium + Gingko + Antioxidant .. for 3-5 months continous .. Gingko showed great results atleast intially
   4. At last out of much frustation i have used Cinnazarine (anti histamine) for tinnitus .. this really helped my tinittus is almost softer now.

All in all my if you dont see a response in 1-2 months dont worry stick to you guts and follow your plan . **Only Combination Therapy Works **

Hi Jhon,
I'm very happy to hear that you've regained your hearing, or most of it. Thanks for posting. It's really encouraging to hear success stories such as yours. I hope to become a success story as well. I had profound hearing loss in my right ear about 8 weeks ago. Have experienced some improvement but nothing major yet. I'm still in the severe range. I'll definitely try the gingko, b12 and magnesium.. Thanks for sharing your plan of action to regain your hearing. :)
