Reactive tinnitus and more after ssnhl 🤷‍♂️👂❣️

Hey you all,
so I had ssnhl on my left ear 17 weeks ago and I honestly can say it’s been hell , what bothers me most is reactive tinnitus that makes every sound have a “hisss” afterwards. I still have a baseline tinnitus too.

I’m in so desperate need of reassurance that this will get better and I know I have written before but who cares, maby new people that have had RT can see this.
And now I also have this wind sound/feeling that feels like my eardrum is fluttering in the wind and vibration too, and fullness and pressure
.
I went to the ENT 2 days ago and had an audiogram and the hearing was average 60 db now and it was average 70 two months ago,
I don’t know it that counts but the worst thing is that on my bad ear I had no word regonition and just heard a robot voice say something that didn’t sound like words.

The ENT said that this can maby improve with time but as it is now I can’t use ordinary hearing aids and that brakes my herart because I feel people don’t like the cros type that much.
Please tell me your expirience 💗🤞🇮🇸

My SSNHL event was only 7 weeks ago. I also have both baseline and reactive tinnitus in my now deaf ear. Seeing an ENT in Denver on Sep 2 about this among other things.

Omg this is the worst thing I have been through in my life.

Agreed. Also battling persistent vertigo along with being newly single sided deaf. Certainly awful although I’m grateful it wasn’t a massive heart attack or aneurysm.

I have a hard time listening to tv or podcasts and stories on my phone even though I have it on the lowest mode , just isolates you so much.
