A member asked:
I am 21 years old, its about 80 percent of hearing that i have lost for the past hour or so. possible reasons?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: Wax, ear infection, fluid behind the eardrum. You need to get this evaluated. If it is sudden sensorineural hearing loss, your best chance of recovery is treatment within 14 days of symptom onset.
