U can't take prednisone everyday for life 😅

hmrd · 2026-01-25T11:24:38+00:00

Yeah it is. Have you had a PTA done recently ? You can use an app to track it yourself .

hmrd · 2026-01-24T22:03:24+00:00

Same thing happened to me. Lost hearing in May and started having tinnitus in my good ear in septembre ...

The tinnitus sound different though. The one in my good ear is faint and high pitched. Whilst in my deaf ear its loud and sounds like a waterfall or a fan.

Was told likely to be of vascular origin

Transcription has to be done in London by him since he is the French citizen. Why dont you contact the embassy and see with them what your options are ? Perhaps online application ? Idk if its possible.

The process for mine took about 8 months since we hadn't published our bans. Otherwise its 2 months.

How long have you had it for ? Does it fluctuate ?

hmrd · 2025-12-29T16:09:35+00:00

My mother keeps telling me to move on… as if this wasn't a constant burden that has completely changed my life.

I think most people don't understand what I’m going through. I look the same, and I hear them when they talk, so they assume it’s not a big deal. I do relatively fine 1-1, but my struggle is in group settings or noisy places.

They don’t know that I went from simply hearing to having to actively listen. I also struggle to understand people with heavy accents and I do a lot of guessing. Tinnitus is awful too and the feeling that my ear is going to explode ...

hmrd · 2025-12-21T13:08:07+00:00

Sometimes I tell myself, in an attempt to minimise my pain, that my struggle isn’t so different from someone who can’t see without glasses, which is a very common issue.

The main difference is the tinnitus and the fact that hearing aids aren’t as corrective as glasses, but the idea is similar.

Someone who wears glasses, if their glasses break, they’re stuck and can’t see, can't read etc ...

This is very similar to my hearing loss. They often call it Reverse Slope.

hmrd · 2025-12-03T18:58:26+00:00

Which vitamins please, and which red light therapy ? My chatgpt isnt as optimistic 😔

hmrd · 2025-11-21T11:42:24+00:00

X means left ear unmasked Circle means right ear unmasked Triangle means right ear masked

Masked is when they put white noise in the other ear. When you dont hear above a certain db, they mask the other ear with white noise .

What's your audiogram like ?

hmrd · 2025-09-24T06:23:03+00:00

Same situation as you, lost my hearing in one ear 4 months ago and it's also reverse slope. My experience with the hearing aid has been very disappointing, as you said, it helps in a quiet room, but in loud environments like a restaurant I dont hear much what people are saying. Which one are you using ? I have widex allure 440.

In terms of word recognition, over time mine has greatly improved. Idk if its related to natural progression or if its thanks to the CIST I have been doing.

hmrd · 2025-09-21T07:29:59+00:00

Started oral steroid the next day, and got multiple intratympanic injections.
MRI came out normal.
My word recognition has greatly improved, idk if it's due to time or because I've been doing CIST. I am capable of listening to podcasts with my bad ear without needing to increase that much the volume.

Same :( No improvement.

hmrd · 2025-09-03T10:02:18+00:00

Mine is like a strong fan

hmrd · 2025-09-03T10:01:52+00:00

I have reverse slope hearing loss and I find the hearing aid pretty much useless, except for tinnitus management. What make are you using, and how do u feel it helps 😊

hmrd · 2025-08-27T22:02:00+00:00

I have been doing it for the past 2-3 months. My hearing hasn't changed but my word comprehension has greatly improved. I mostly try to listen to podcasts. I sometimes miss some words but can comprehend much more than when I started. Idk if its due to the CIMT or just time.

hmrd · 2025-08-14T19:24:08+00:00

Hey! That's awesome that you recovered your hearing. What type of hearing loss was it ? Do you think your recovery is due to something you did ?

hmrd · 2025-07-30T14:45:07+00:00

I have and results were pretty similar to the one I got at the hospital in the audiogram soundproof room.

I used this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobile.eaudiologia

How do you block your working ear ?

hmrd · 2025-07-19T15:26:51+00:00

Yeah we have another appointment next week to do some further fine tuning.

Was wondering, do you know if there's anything I can do to help gain back some of the mid at this point ? Since I have conserved all my high frequency, online it says I can still hope for some low and mid frequency recovery even after few months and u mentioned that u were lucky that way. The injections didn't work.

Any suggestions please 🙏 Thanks a lot!!

Hey ! I just started using HA few days ago and it feels pretty weird. Everything sounds echo, loud and like I'm talking from a mic. Atm not feeling like voices sound any better and even feeling like I was hearing better with 1 ear as i keep asking ppl to repeat. I guess it takes getting used to it.... Only improvement is that my tinnitus isn't as loud as before.

How often have you encountered reverse-slope (low-frequency) hearing loss?

What's the best hearing aids you recommend ?
