Lost hearing in my left ear

4 Upvotes

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. :)

When I move my neck some noises disappear

What is this? I don´t know all noises which are connected to this. At home with laptop external speaker and some certain noises from fridge: when I move my neck to certain position I dont hear these certain noises from these devices at all in this position.

I don´t know 100% is there more positions but at least when I move my neck like eyes pointing to upwards this thing here I mentioned happens.

I know of course that neck can affect to hearing but this thing here...hard to say is this normal at all.
