Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

A sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a medical emergency and it has to be evaluated and treated accordingly. Treatment taken after 48 hours will not produce desirable results even after taking the full course of treatment. Hence it is important to take treatment immediately. There are many reasons for having this issue and the common reasons are sudden vascular compromise, viral infection, and autoimmune or endocrine disorder. In this condition, blanket treatment can be taken with steroids (either intratympanic or intravenous), antivirals, plasma expanders, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and correction of endocrine pathology can be done. There is absolutely nothing to be worried about. I suggest you seek urgent medical therapy and have a hearing evaluation as soon as possible.
