    wasn’t able to get an ent for 1 1/2 week. Then was prescribed pills for 18 days but were not effective. Started steroid injections now. Not sure how hopeful to be given that my first shot had no effect. Going in once a week for the next 2 weeks for more shots now.

    @@lilchile123 I’m so sorry to hear that. I want to ask, I recently got tested positive for Covid 19 and I am noticing very very slight hearing loss, is there anything I should do right now to ensure it comes back 100%? I think it could be a viral infection but I don’t know the next steps in treating it.
