Unilateral hearing loss

2017-12-12 17:18:19
Dear Doctor, I am facing the Unilateral hearing loss problem (unable to hear anything through right ear). I am not sure that the problem exists by birth. But I am sure that I am struggling with this last 16 years (as far as I remember). Is it curable without surgery.? What is the best and fast treatment for this.? I don't want any hearing aid, I am just looking for the natural treatment for my problem. Kindly advise.

we need to test to find out what type of hearing loss are you suffering from. if the hearing loss is due to a problem in your middle ear or bones inside the ear (conductive type), there are remedies for it. if the hearing loss is sensorineural type involving the nerves, management differs. hearing aid is the last option if all other modalities are of no use anymore.
Next Steps
consult ENT and get audiological evaluation done
