Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I read your query and understand your concern
In my opinion cortisonics (prednisone) will help
If you were one pf my patient i would strongly advice to further incestigate about the cause of hearing loss
There are several causes which lead to hearing loss
Most of them are fully treatable
Hope I have been of help
Stay healthy
