What Causes Dizziness And Hearing Loss Despite Taking Steroids?

I have sudden hearing loss in right ear. Had sever vertigo for 3 weeks. I am now dizzy, feel like walking on a boat at sea. Have loud roaring in ear. Have been treated with oral steroids and three steroid injection in the inner ear. Will I stop feeling dizzy? Could it be something else other than inner ear trouble?

Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear there are many causes for sudden hearing loss which include infectious, circulatory, inner ear problems like meniere’s disease, neoplastic, traumatic, metabolic, neurologic, immunologic, toxic, cochlear, idiopathic (unknown cause) and other causes. Unfortunately, even after a thorough search for a possible pathology, the cause of sudden hearing loss remains unknown in most patients.

treatment may depends on the cause. but the history not sufficient to say what is the cause. possibilities like meniers disease,co angle tumors, perilymph fistula etc..there are reversible and irreversible causes for hearing loss.please consult your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
