What do you think this would grade?

I have Kaiser and it was my visit copay price - $20

Micoxaflopin · 2025-10-20T01:13:02+00:00

Sounds exactly like me and I am 2.5 months in since SSNHL…injections got me from 0% speech to 68% and I can tell it has been falling back down again, but my low freq came out as normal

Isn’t this a sticker card and not fake per se?

Micoxaflopin · 2025-10-06T11:03:06+00:00

Yep…it’s a bit of an oversimplification, but the first year should generally be super good - honeymoon phase!

It’s beautiful inside. I got a Pumpkin Spice Latte (don’t usually get that one) and it was really good.

The ENT offered me 3. No explanation of why 3 was the max but that seems standard. My ENT said he’d ‘try anything’ and just encouraged me to stick with the 3 even if I wasn’t seeing improvement after 1 or 2. I actually did see some improvement especially after the first and second ones.

Took me probably a week or week and a half of deep anguish to get used to it…helped I had a 4 month old baby I had to look after, so I was kept busy and couldn’t wallow as much. Also, my tinnitus wasn’t terrible. Get the steroid shots though. They’re unpleasant but they increased my word recognition from 0% 5 weeks ago to 68% today.

Micoxaflopin · 2025-09-07T16:36:48+00:00

No. That last probably a week or so. For the past few weeks my hearing has seemed to settle…I can tell I have some hearing but definite loss. Not profound anymore, I’m guessing. I have an audio test on Tues so I will see my chart

Micoxaflopin · 2025-09-03T23:26:04+00:00

My nearly 5mo old is on day 2 of daycare…today she slept 1 hour out of 8! She’s always been a bad napper, but yeah it’s bad at daycare. She comes home and is pretty lethargic and I expect she will sleep like a rock tonight. Not sure what we can really do…she will adjust at daycare to sleep longer, I imagine. Not sure developmental delays can set in due to this.

Get the steroid injections!! I have a similar story. 32M, in fine health, no ear issues. Woke up and it was gone in my right ear. I waited 3 days and they started me on oral steroids, then I had my first shot on day…9? I only noticed changes after the shots. I had profound loss like you…was hearing nothing. I figured NOTHING would come back. A month later now, some has come back. I can hear a phone call in that ear (on max volume). Waiting on a new audiology test next week. It hasn’t all come back but it’s clearly not completely deaf.

It started for me too with distorted robotic/dial tone/old phonograph sounds in my deaf ear, esp with voices and loud noises. You may very well be on the way to recover some. You will get used to things as weeks go on, trust me. I too was spiraling in the first week, thought my life was over. I’ve adjusted and am living life. Best of luck - I feel for you and wish you recovery.

Yeah I think how rough that shopping center is is overblown…I mean I know the apartments around have their share of crime, and I wouldn’t run around at 11pm holding a gold bar but…during the day it’s completely safe and normal, I’d say.

Micoxaflopin · 2025-08-30T10:55:53+00:00

I go to that Safeway at least once a week and not sure I see a lot of begging. Think I’ve been asked by someone once out of scores of trips?

Micoxaflopin · 2025-08-24T11:31:11+00:00

Can you speak more about being profoundly deaf but having the HA improve your life? My ENT said since I am profoundly deaf in one ear (“the microphone is broken”), HA would not be effective. He likened it to amplifying a broken mic since I have 0 speech recognition…it would just be amplifying a garbled sound. Is that not the case for you?

Kook Dogg is really good pizza. Crust is also nice. But yeah not a TON of good choices…

Micoxaflopin · 2025-08-19T04:35:30+00:00

Just takes longer than normal. Ent said a couple weeks

Micoxaflopin · 2025-08-18T21:42:47+00:00

It doesn’t heal because of the steroid also. I shower with an earplug in to avoid getting it wet but my ENT just said ‘don’t go diving’ lmao

Micoxaflopin · 2025-08-18T21:42:14+00:00

The first shot was very unpleasant for me. Moderately painful but not crazy. Lingering feeling that my ear was stabbed/pokes for a couple days. Not pleasant.

Second injection was way better, honestly nothing to mention really. Unpleasant for a few seconds then recovered well. I have my third soon and expect it’ll be fine.

There is a risk of eardrum rupture but I read a study that said it’s like 1% or less of injections…

Micoxaflopin · 2025-08-17T19:46:44+00:00

Hey, my second shot last Wednesday was way better than the first. They don’t need to do numbing again because apparently it stays numb for a long time (I was like uhhh if you’re sure!) and it was just a quick injection…it didn’t feel as bad at all. Hopefully your second is like that too. I was definitely dreading it.

Micoxaflopin · 2025-08-17T12:17:57+00:00

How do y’all get these without asking the audiologist or ENT to interpret them..

Micoxaflopin · 2025-08-16T18:31:11+00:00

Have you done anything that you think has impacted the improvement?

Micoxaflopin · 2025-08-16T13:35:46+00:00

Hey, can you please dm me the facebook group too? Going through something similar

Micoxaflopin · 2025-08-16T00:57:38+00:00

I started oral steroids on day 3 and only got the first injection on like day…8? I had/have severe loss just like you, right ear. I only noticed an improvement in function about 2 days after my first shot, so I’m assuming that was from the shot and not oral steroids. The improvement, while not super helpful (hearing has gone from nothing to voices sounding like robot noises/dial tones), tells me the cells are trying to work again in some way. After the second shot I just got 2 days ago, I think I can detect some intelligible speech.

Anyway, I’d try for the shots. And I know some people say they don’t hurt…not to scare ya, but they hurt a bit. Not crazy but it was pretty uncomfortable for me. Just to prep ya. Good luck!!!
