deaf in one ear a week any hope hearing returning?

[amytheearwaxbanisher]

my right ear has giving me little problems on and off for a few years mild tinitus when wearing headphones[which i havnt done for years]when i have a cold the first sneeze and i go half deaf but i put this down to sinuses,it went completly last week for no reason and i had severe pain for 12 hours then mild pain and pressure for a few days,the pressure and pain are gone but still deaf help!

i had that for about a week. it was really frustrating but it did get better.

its just that i find it a bit hard to drive with it went to the doctors who syringed it and said that should fix it but he couldnt really see it it as it was so swollen that was five days ago!

I had this last June. Mine was an ear infection following a cold... the infection cleared up with antibiotics, but the deafness (with added tinnitus just to add to the fun) lasted almost a month. It did go in the end, but very very slowly. The doctor suggested sucking sherbet lemons because (apparently) they make you salivate a lot (... all they do for me is take the roof of my mouth off, but never mind) and that helps to clear the blocked tubes. He also suggested sudofed, which helped slightly. Luckily mine was only in one ear. Hope yours gets better soon.

i was taking sudafed for two weeks prior to the deafness and the doctor didnt think it was infected shall try the sherbets
