I did yesterday and she refused to prescribe them because it was “too late for them to be effective”

Thank you for the support and advice this forum has been helpful for my mindset and attitude I’m taking in everyone’s advice to see whats right for the next move

I’m only 21 it’s a big sacrifice to never go to a club or bar again, I’ll definitley wear protection tho

Sadly I couldn’t see any doctors today our system in Canada is pretty broken, the downside of it being “free” I have an appointment Wednesday with an ENT my family trusts very well who’s helped us a lot and I’m going first thing Monday morning to my family doctor to ask for the prescription...

pdate if anyone cares, hearing is starting to slowly improve, if my head is on the right angle I can hear crickets briefly I hear buzzing of my ear trying to pick up the missing sounds. Honestly it’s keeping me very optimistic about having some sort of recovery

Are steroids effective 6 days later ? Also I’ve heard hearing can recover weeks later for a temporary threshold shift

That’s a bit of relief, I’ve noticed when I stay in bed away from sound my tinnitus is very mild, but if I’m out and about it is more bothersome. I’m really scared about my hearing

My bigger worry is my loss of hearing more so than my tinnitus. Do they go hand in hand ?

But what about just the loss of hearing

progress can be made that much later ? After a few weeks ?

Hi so it has been 6 days since I went to a concert with no protection too close to the speakers. There was a smoke machine that caused pain in my right ear when it went off. Since then I have ringing and noise sensitivity in my right ear and online tests are showing me a 30 decibel loss at 4...
