Ive basically been deaf in my left ear for 3 days straight now, went to the doctors today and basically told its an infection so im now on anti biotics and given some drops. Any one had this before? Id do anything to hear out of my ear again! Feel really bad when people are talking to me and I ignore them, missed my alarm this morning aswell so was late for my appointment but they understood

Why did mobby delete his comment? Was pretty pointless though tbh. I didnt mean I dont respect deaf people at all, just kinda hits home when it effects yourself.

A mate of mine is deaf in one ear, he went through a bad time with his dad being killed and the stress sent him deaf.

I had it over the winter! Blocked ears for weeks. Had to tilt me head a certain way to hear people.

Kirstys brother is pretty much deaf in one ear, must be aweful for him.

He ignores you sometimes but its because he can't hear you.

I woke up on Xmas Day with this, it was horrible. I just left it and it cleared up after about 4-5 days

Wouldn't make a difference to me i'm deaf in my right ear permanently. I had mumps when i was 2 and it burst a nerve in my right ear. i know what you mean if i have music on or the is a background noise and someone talks to me on my right side i can't hear them and then some people who don't know me think i am ignorant till i explain.
