I’ve seen my ENT doctor, have finished 2 weeks of Valtrex and Prednisone for what is diagnosed as viral caused hearing loss. I had an MRI of the head and it was ok. For a week now, my head feels such pressure (just in the upper portion), and the hearing comes and goes in one ear. When it goes, my tinnitus (which I have all the time), is much better, but is replaced by a ‘windy type roar’ sound. When the hearing comes back, the tinnitus is awful and the pressure feeling in the head is worse—like today. I feel sort of dizzy but not the spinning sensation. If I bend over and/or get up from a lying down position, the dizziness is more so. It is ‘nerve wracking’ to say the least. I keep hoping this will correct itself. I have a follow up appt. next week. I got nauseated awhile today too. I just **** the thought of more tests. I’m a senior /female and in otherwise good health. Just wonder what on earth is going on? Any thoughts? thanks
