PLEASE take good care of your ears!!! A couple of years ago we were at a class reunion having a great time, and I was feeling great. Suddenly my right ear popped, got dizzy for a few minutes, then it went away & was fine. It did this 2-3 more times that night. After the last one, I had total hearing loss in that ear. Dr said a virus. He treated w/steriods, but no improvement. Just got real sick for a few months, dizzy all the time, very weak.
To this day I cannot hear in that ear even a little, equilibrium is off at times so have to move slower than I ever have. With hearing in only one ear, I cannot tell from what direction sounds are coming from. I have to physically turn around in all directions hoping to see what/who the sounds are coming from. Loud sounds are piercing and painful in both ears. Have constant ringing in my deaf ear that can become incredibly loud. I try not to complain as worse things could have happened to me, but it really suck!
Take good care of that ear, and never takes your ears/hearing for granted. So sorry you are in so much pain. Sure messes up your holidays. Take care!!! |
