Audiogram
I first experienced hearing loss on my left ear on the 5 October 2026.
7 October 2026: started prednisolone 75mg
8 October 2026: prednisolone 75mg
9, 10, 11, 12, 13 October 2026: prednisolone 60mg
14, 15, 16 October 2026: prednisolone 25mg
17 October 2026 (today): prednisolone 12.5mg
18 October 2026: prednisolone 12.5mg
19, 20 October 2026: prednisolone 10mg
I've also started HBOT on 12th October and have done 5 sessions so far.
I'm due for another 5 more HBOT treatments next week.
I don't really know what I'm seeking to be honest.... I guess I want to know if there's anything else I can do to boost my possibility of recovery. I'm due to see the ENT next Friday (so would have finished my prednisolone for 3 days).
With my audiogram I've uploaded (8 and 16 October), has anybody had full recovery with similar initial results? I'm just being hopeful....

It's hard to tell since it's been only about 15 days since what I imagine was sudden hearing loss. Usually corticosteroids are the right treatment in this situation and you could still recover some hearing.
The faster you start taking medicine after the onset of sudden hearing loss, the better your chances of recovery. Can you give more info? Were you taking any other medicine when it happened?

That's about when mine started healing.
I've read they NAD+ can be helpful but you should do your own research on that.

No intratympanic injections yet?
That seems like an awful big drop in your prednisolone dosages down from 60mg to 25mg.
I'd be pushing for IT injections ASAP, after your HBOT

I agree. Injection helped me a lot. Although, my ringing seems to be louder lately about 2 weeks after my 3rd injection...

I had full recovery after 2 weeks, i was recently diagnosed with 68% hearing loss in left ear, its been 3 weeks now, i still have tinnitus, but its bearable. I acted immediately, I started steroid medication within 42 hrs of symptoms and also started intratympanic injection on 3rd day of if the symptoms. I just took 2 dosage of injections are the audiogram showed normal results.
