Acute hearing loss

Acute hearing loss

Acute hearing loss is an acute event. Sufferers should consult a doctor within 72 hours and not wait! Sudden hearing loss (usually in one ear), the feeling of having “wadding in your ear”, a one-sided feeling of pressure, and a beeping in the ear are some possible symptoms.

To increase the chances of recovery and to avoid long-term effects, treatment should be started within the first 72 hours after noticing the symptoms. The doctor will determine the medical measures to be taken after a thorough anamnesis and examination. Since sudden hearing loss often strikes people who are plagued by stress, an important and further step in the treatment, in addition to the medical therapy, is to strive for inner peace.
