This could be...: Could be time to see one's primary care doctor and explain the symptoms plus their timeline. Some people get changes in air pressure in the ears, similar to when they go up or down in an airplane or tall elevator. When pressure releases and equalizes, there may be a brief hissing and then the hearing is better afterwards. If there is persistent hissing or ringing in the ears, an ENT doctor helps.

I was diagnosed with unilateral SSHL in August 2020. After having completed a MRI-no tumor was found and I also regained a bit of my hearing. I am still trying to figure out what could have caused this- could sleeping on my ear contributed to this?
