You seem to be suffering from sudden sensorineural hearing loss which needs to be treated as early as possible. You need to undergo pure tone audiogram to confirm the diagnosis and if confirmed then. You need to take steroids and antiviral medications for a week. You may even require intra tympanic steroid injection
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
