A member asked:
Should i be worried about sudden hearing loss and ringing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Sudden hearing loss can be irreversible. Prompt treatment with oral steroids has been shown to maximize chances of recovery, especially when that treatment is begun early after onset of symptoms. I would recommend seeing your doctor.
