Morning....silence is not golden....I have gone very, very deaf.
Started with whooshing noises in my ears which changed in volume depending on how I moved my head.

On Saturday my hearing suddenly became poor while I was driving....so much I thought my engine had cut out.

I saw a pharmacist who sold me some drops which were to do all sorts of crackling explosive things in my ears......nothing at all. I did ask about a decongestant but he said not to use that.

This morning the hissing is worse and I am even more deaf.

I have an appointment with the nurse on Friday....is there anything I can do or buy myself before then?

Thanks Gx

p.s. It has made me reluctant to speak....can't really hear my voice properly and think I'm shouting so I suppose every cloud.....☺

G. do you think the nasal spray is working ?

Anne.....I think it is....slowly but I do feel that it's a bit better and I actually heard the phone this afternoon....didn't realise til after I had answered but I know that yesterday I couldn't hear it ring.

GP said it was unlikely to work or that it rarely does but I think my mind over matter attitude is going to make it work.....I joke but not hearing and having the whooshing all the time is a bit wearing.....xx

id think it would be very distressing.
