Quick update....if anyone happened to be interested.
Cochlea has gone!....... covid, the virus not the vaccine, is suspected....now profoundly deaf in that ear, no conductive hearing, no bone conduction...nothing.
Red flagged during triage....got to see specialists same day, massive dose of steroids, but too late.
MRI next week to check for a tumour, if nothing, then MRA to check the carotid artery.
Sick of getting old.
