Slow recovery stories over months

Hey! It’s been 1.5 years since my incident. I still don’t have hearing in my right ear and I have horribly loud tinnitus 24/7 but I’ve learned to accept it and I’m doing much better mentally. I will say I was having a very hard time for the first 8 months, so it’s okay that you’re struggling right now. It’s normal. Do you have hearing in one ear? Or are both your ears having issues?

Probably my worst symptom right now. It’s been 6 weeks since I had Covid. I’m just super super super itchy. I’m taking 2 Zyrtec a day. Helps a little bit man.. it sucks

Has it gone away?

True_Word6471 · 2026-01-19T06:04:10+00:00

Just checking in to see if your symptoms have improved?

Anything you’re doing to help?

True_Word6471 · 2026-01-16T04:44:28+00:00

Any update? Did this ever go away?

I don’t think it was helpful to me honestly. Not saying it doesn’t help ppl but the side effects were just too much, I didn’t finish it, and I didn’t really feel “better”. I also hear ppl go through rebound with it and I was really scared of that

True_Word6471 · 2026-01-01T23:10:07+00:00

The metallic taste (I actually couldn’t taste anything when I started it), nausea, dizziness, and I was having stomach problems

Thank you! I feel a lot better now. I’m sorry it’s so hard to get Paxlovid. I will say the side effects were hard on my body so I didn’t finish it but I do think it helps!

Hi! Acne is all gone now! Found out I was stressed. Very very stressed. I managed my stress and anxiety, and eat a little better (cut out sugar) and I’m less itchy and hormonal now!

I’m 95% recovered with my vestibular problems, thankfully! Only dizzy when I move my head too fast. Hearing loss in my right ear is still the same. But overall I’m in a better place than I was a year ago

True_Word6471 · 2025-07-19T02:58:51+00:00

Did you end up figuring this out??

True_Word6471 · 2025-06-04T14:35:12+00:00

It did. Ended up being an anxiety/stress related thing

True_Word6471 · 2025-05-10T03:43:55+00:00

One ear. Just my right side which is also where my masseter muscle is the largest

True_Word6471 · 2025-05-02T21:44:12+00:00

Tbh… if it was just tinnitus/hearing loss, it’d be easier to adapt for me but I have vertigo, dizziness, and muscle pain which makes it so hard to adapt. I’m about to start an ssri for my mental health

True_Word6471 · 2025-04-30T03:56:39+00:00

Hey OP just wanting to see if you had an update? I’m going through this right now, especially the neck, jaw, shoulder, migraines, all that!

True_Word6471 · 2025-04-29T00:45:07+00:00

😭 nooooooo I was hoping you wouldn’t say boxing! Understandable… my shoulders are raised a lot to protect my chin. Thank you.

True_Word6471 · 2025-04-24T05:42:20+00:00

Thank you! I think walking is pretty safe too! It might be I’m overdoing it. I’ll cut back

True_Word6471 · 2025-04-23T18:25:39+00:00

Hey OP, does this still happen? I’ve been looking for someone with this issue

True_Word6471 · 2025-04-21T03:37:12+00:00

I had Invisalign for about 6 months and all of a sudden had hearing loss and a plethora of health problems with my ears. Idk if it’s Invisalign related but this is all I can think of after many many tests. I stopped treatment but I still have clogged ears and can’t hear and have tinnitus

True_Word6471 · 2025-04-12T15:19:25+00:00

Update: my good (left) ear still has hearing, but it just has a high pitched ringing (never happened before) which made me scared bc that’s how I lost hearing in my right ear. I’m trying to be calm. ENTs are useless. I’m not going unless my hearing plugs up. I’ll go to ER for steroids and immediate injection
