Question analysis: According to what you said and the results of the hearing test, you have sudden deafness in your left ear. Sudden deafness belongs to the emergency department of otology and must be treated as soon as possible. Delayed treatment is not effective.
Guide and suggestion: The treatment drugs are mainly hormones. It is recommended that the oral hormone Metola (0.8mg/kg/day, maximum dose 48mg/day, use at 8 o’clock every morning, if you have hypertension and diabetes Be sure to monitor blood pressure and blood sugar) for one week. Check the hearing a week later, and adjust the medication according to the situation. If the recovery is not satisfactory after one week of treatment, you can add methylprednisolone (or dexamethasone) twice a week for 3 weeks. In addition, you need to do enhanced MRI to rule out possible related lesions. 70% of sudden deafness can get better recovery.
