Your doctor might have diagnosed your condition as acoustic trauma and resulting hearing loss, he seems to have advised steroids for the same. He seems to have given low dose steroids but sometimes people can get side effects like you are getting. If your hearing normal now, you can stop steroids (prednisone)
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
