If you have progressive sensory neural hearing loss usually steroids are not useful. Gingko biloba may have role in slowing the progression but won't reverse the loss which has occured already. If you have issues with speech discrimination then hearing aids can be helpful
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
