A member asked:
Went to ent for clogged/ringing in ear said ear looked fine did hearing test and gave steroid for slight hearing loss what causes this is steroid safe?

I commonly: See patients with a small amount of fluid in the middle ear causing symptoms similar to yours and treat with steroids to speed up the healing process. This problem will usually clear without treatment but most people desire faster results.

Good evening doctors. I had a hearing test, which showed mild hearing loss in BOTH ears. When I asked the ENT if I needed hearing aids, the ENT said no. With total respect to the ENT, why would hearing aids for mild hearing loss in both ears not help?
