It depends on what its from, but PLEASE PLEASE, if you have sudden hearing change call to an ENT office and request an urgent appointment immediately today!
It Depends. The usual window is about two weeks once the sudden hearing loss occurs. One is usually treated with steroids but you need to see an Ear-Nose-Throat Doctor for the evaluation to determine what exactly caused the sudden hearing loss. Side note: if one experiences sudden hearing loss in one ear you should immediately go too the ER for an evaluation and possible treatment.
