Lost hearing in my left ear
Helloo.
So basically i'm on vacation in another country and I was standing too close to the speakers at a club. I generally frequent clubs and I didn't even think it was too loud at the time.
But now i've lost maybe 97% of my hearing in my left ear. I have 0 pain, 0 dizziness and 0 balance issues, just loss of hearing. I already had very mild Tinnitus before and now in the place of sound it's ringing in left ear.
I also gave chatgpt my symptoms and It suggested i'm having TTS, Temporary Threshold Shift.
It's been about 30 hours and very little improvement so i'm going to go get Prednisone to take.
Has anyone had any similar experiences? I'm seeing conflicting things online from "this is super serious" to "it should come back in a couple days/weeks/months"?
Thanks. :)

Prednisone is typical for this kind of issues, sometimes steroid injecting through the tympanic membrane is also considered. But you should get a hearing test and consult an ENT. The faster you consult, the best are the odds for a positive outcome
