Sudden hearing loss
by Rogue_boy1, Feb 17, 2008 07:11PM
I lost most of my hearing about three days ago. it wasnt overnight but it was on the 14th of february 2008. the first night it hurt so badley. first i tried to take a hot shower and see if the steam would unclog it. my dad said that it was clogged with mucus. so then i tried to sleep on the opposite side. that didnt work. it is now the 17th of february 2008 and i still cant hear in my left ear. im starting to get a little scared. my step-mother told me that we had to candle it out. i've done that before and it kinda tickles. i searched it up on Google and i didnt get anything good. So if anyone has any information on this at all please email me.

Sounds to me that you have a middle ear infection and you need to see an ENT. That is really the bottom line, you are in pain and there is no good reason not to see a doctor... at this point.
If there is a financial issues, most ENTs will give you a sample supply of medication.
I wish you luck
