A member asked:
Ive been on nasal steroids for the past month to drain ears and ive noticed my hearing is getting worse. does it get worse before its better?

No: you want to see your doctor again for re-evaluation or referral to an ENT specialist, meanwhile use saline nasal washes more often, good luck
