BgChsr35 Posted July 3, 2020 Report Posted July 3, 2020 Does anyone know what may cause hearing loss on one side? Google isnt helpful answering this question. Hopefully this is the right place to put this. Quote
BicuriousScott Posted July 3, 2020 Report Posted July 3, 2020 Could be an infection,injury or genetic hearing loss. You really should see a doctor. 1 Quote
MuscledHorse Posted July 3, 2020 Report Posted July 3, 2020 i second that. there are a few drugs that can affect hearing, but that is generally unilateral and the most common of them is the IV antibiotic vancomycin. Definitely see a doctor and get it looked it. Quote
tallslenderguy Posted July 3, 2020 Report Posted July 3, 2020 Ditto the other two responses, i.e., "see a doctor." As much as i love BZ, no, "this is [not] the right place to put this." As a health care provider, i can tell you google is not the answer either. It takes a minimum of eleven years of education to become a medical doctor. An Ear/Nose/Throat specialty takes even longer to obtain. Then experience on top of that is always a good thing. If one is not trained in physiology, one often doesn't even know the right questions to ask to obtain a diagnosis. As mentioned, some drugs can cause hearing issues (even aspirin), injury, infection, stroke, heck, even a cotton swab used improperly, the list goes on and on. Please see someone trained in medicine. It's your hearing, please take care of your self ❤️ Quote
Moderators viking8x6 Posted July 3, 2020 Moderators Report Posted July 3, 2020 I'll join the "see a doctor" crowd. Could be anything from earwax to a brain tumor. And it's pretty much impossible to look in your own ear... be well! Quote

Hopefully this is the right place to put this. See a doctor ASAP. I had "sudden viral hearing loss" and if you get in quickly they can give you meds that might help.
