Hi Shery,

I understand your difficult situation but as we all know healthy is better than wealthy.

There are five stages of the disease and it is better to stop it asap so as to have fewer complications like your hearing loss, intracranial extension of the infection etc

Did you finish the treatment with antibiotics as your doctor prescribtion?

Did you have ear discharge or temperature?
If the answer is positive than consulting ENT doctor is a MUST.
The disease has severe complications and it is better to follow up than cure the side effects of the disease.
Hope that helped
