What Causes Sudden Hearing Loss?

I experienced sudden hearing loss exactly 4 weeks ago... Took steroid pills for 2 weeks and then had the shots once a week for 3 weeks ending at week 3. My improvement seems to have plateaud... is there any chance I will still see improvement? My hearing feels like it improved @25% between weeks 1 and 3...
