Profound hearing loss in left ear

2017-06-20 09:39:39
I have a profound hearing loss in left ear & had recently got it confirmed from a local ENT doctor. I guess this loss is from birth and I have ignored it for a long time.He suggested me hearing aid and have been using the same. But with the hearing aid I am just sensing the sound but can't understand it. Also last few days my ears feel kinda of heavy.I am not sure abt this treatment from my local doctor and need a second opinion over the same. This is affecting my social skills and really hurting my self esteem.
